Abstract
IN attempting to give the general reader “an understanding of all the essential parts” of the more wonderful and recent of the electrical inventions, Mr. Munro has tried to accomplish a well nigh impossible task. That he should have been perfectly successful in his endeavour is hardly to be expected; nevertheless he has produced a book which a person unacquainted with electrical science may read with pleasure, and from which such a person may learn what wonders are accomplished by the aid of electricity, and in a general way how this powerful and subtle agent does its work.
Electricity and its Uses.
By J. Munro. (London: The Religious Tract Society, 1883.)
