Abstract
ALL who are interested in the important subject of magnetism must feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to the authors of this little book. They are both distinguished for the researches which they have carried out on the subject, and as their work shows, combine skill in exposition with the imaginative faculty which belongs to the successful investigator. In this volume they have aimed at putting the reader in touch with recent researches which for the most part are to be found only in the original memoirs. Consequently they have confined themselves to a rapid summary of the definitions and fundamental laws of magnetism, though even here the careful reader will find much to repay study. Questions, such as the experimental technique and industrial applications, which have been discussed in previous works, have been left on one side.
