Abstract
THIS small volume on the classical electric theory contains a general, but not very novel, survey of the portions of the mathematical-physical theory which are still relevant in the broader technical applications of the subject. Starting with electrostatics, the author carries his readers carefully through all the important physical ideas underlying the static field theories of Maxwell and Faraday, including the theory of dielectrics. Following this, he introduces in a small chapter the field and energy relations of the magneto -static field, basing himself on the analogy with the electrostatic field. The first section of the book closes with a brief survey of the kinematical problems of current flow in conducting media.
