Abstract
THIS book resembles others by the same author, in being an amplification of a course of lectures. Every one who knows Prof. Thompson's later work, will expect to find evidence of a good deal of study; nor will he be disappointed. Not the least important part of the book is the list of works and articles which have been written upon this comparatively new department of electrical engineering. A chapter and many other paragraphs are of an historical nature, and if in some cases those who have been behind the scenes more than the author, may consider that he has not been quite fair in his conclusions, yet every one will admit that impartial fairness has always been aimed at by Prof. Thompson.
