Abstract
THIS edition is an enlargement of the second, while less important matter has been omitted or compressed. The electrostatic and electromagnetic systems of units are retained, the change to international units having been considered and rejected. It is a very useful book but somewhat uneven in treatment. For example, thermoelectricity, electrolysis and geometrical optics are less fully treated than electromagnetics, interference and wave theory.
