Excerpt from Industrial Electricity
The Editor in presenting this, the first of a series of volumes upon Electro-mechanics, does so with some diffidence ; but he believes that there is room for these volumes, because they explain in very clear and non-mathematical language the many and various applications of electricity. In the original French many thousands of these works have been sold, and the Editor trusts that the same appreciation of the volumes may be shown in England and America.
It has of course been found necessary to modify and adapt the original French works to the needs of English readers.
The present volume may be accounted as introductory to the rest of the series. It is divided into short chapters, each dealing with a separate branch of practical electricity. On account of the magnitude of the subject, the information which they supply is necessarily meagre in character, and is only intended to give a general idea of electrical science and its practical applications. The other volumes of the series treat the more important of the branches here touched upon separately and in detail.
