Excerpt from Elements of Electricity and Electro-ChemistryThere are indeed many useful works on Electricity, but in the present extended state of the Science a proper acquaintance with its principles can only be obtained by the labori ous collection of its widely scattered mate rials, which it will then require considerable attention to arrange, and tolerable skill to combine, hence the appropriation of a portion of time is required for this purpose, which is incompatible with the pursuits of many active and intelligent enquirers, and will be generally considered as inconvenient and objectionable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
