It is designed to meet the requirements of students at science classes, science colleges, and technical institutes, as well as Teachers and private pupils, and as an introduction to electrical science as a whole, should be valuable to those engaged in telegraphy, telephony, electro-metallurgy, and the other practical applications of Electricity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
