Excerpt from Primary Batteries

With the exception of a single translation from the French, the material on primary batteries hitherto accessible to English readers has been in detached portions, partly in books on the general subject of electricity, and partly in scientific journals and technical papers.

A thorough knowledge, systematically arranged, of the principles involved in the construction, operation, and theory of primary batteries is of undoubted service to those beginning an extended course of study in the applications and engineering of electricity; while it is indispensable to one whose occupation requires familiarity with these most simple and useful means of producing electric currents for practical purposes.

This little book has been written with both of these classes of readers in mind. No attempt has been made to compile anything like a complete list and description of all the combinations proposed or actually used as primary batteries. A large proportion of them are more curious than useful, and many have scarcely the merit of novelty.
