Abstract
WE took occasion some time ago to draw the attentention of the readers of NATURE to the Leçons sur l'Électricité et le Magnétisme,” by Professors Mascart and Joubert; we have now to thank Prof. Atkinson for an English translation of this valuable work. This is not the place to inquire into the necessity for an English translation of any French scientific work, not to speak of one which makes such demands on the culture of its readers as this does. It is enough for us to know that the publishers and translator consider the number of semi-educated Englishmen sufficiently great to justify their venture; it is our part to speak to the merits of the work and the manner of the translation.
Electricity and Magnetism.
By E. Mascart J. Joubert. Translated by E. Atkinson. Vol. 1. (London: Thos. de la Rue and Co., 1883.)
