Abstract
THE progress of electrical knowledge and in vention is so rapid and the ground covered so extensive that the trend of its literature is for the most part in the direction of books or monographs on special departments of it written by experts. On the other hand, as the existing complete treatises become antiquated or too bulky by additions, the necessity arises for rewriting the subject from a more modern point of view.
