Abstract
THIS volume comprises an elementary and lucid account of the main facts of electrostatics; magnetism and current electricity, leading thence by way of electromagnetic induction to oscillatory circuits and valve amplifiers and oscillators. An understanding of all this basic knowledge is necessary to a student who is taking an interest in the science of radio-communication, although much the same ground is covered by other elementary text-books. The author's object in presenting this book is, however, to demonstrate in a non-mathematical manner the relation of the principles of radio technique to other electrical phenomena.
