Electricity in Theory and Practice (Classic Reprint)

The design of this book is to form a bridge between the many works written on the theory of electricity and the many works written on its practical applications. It has been my experience that practical men and students have found great difficulty in seeing the relation between the theory of electricity and its practical applications, because they have had to study the theory from books devoted wholly to abstruse theory, and the practical applications from books devoted wholly to the practical applications. I have, moreover, been often told by practical men that a book showing the principles upon which practice depends, and explaining the theory 4f the practical applicationS ywould be a help to many. This want I have tried to meet. May be my endeavor will at least serve to stimulate abler hands to labor in what seems to me a very useful field.
