Abstract
THIS book contains a very complete account of electricity and magnetism in all their theoretical aspects, from the simple electrostatic field through crystal optics to the theory of relativity. The treatment is clear, but it is quite definitely designed to appeal to the mathematician rather than to the experimental physicist. The standard attains that of a postgraduate course, but the book lacks bibliographical details which one normally expects to find in a work of such importance.
