FIRST STEPS IN ELECTRICITY
IT has been the author's object to deal with the subject of electricity in as clear and ELEMENTARY
a way as possible, so as to familiarize the student with the PRINCIPLES of electricity before undertaking to show how these principles are applied in practical work.
The working theory of electricity, or applied electricity, has been developed to a high degree of perfectior., and in this volume the author treats EXCLUSIVELY of the PRINCIPLES of electricity and not of its APPLICATION.
The volimie treats of the generation of both direct and alternating currents, especial attention being paid to the ALTERNATING current, its generation and application owing to its daily increasing use.
In writing this book the author has chosen the form of DIALOGUE, believing that its impression upon the mind is more penetrating and vi\T[d than ordinary descriptive matter.
The volume contains two hundred and fiftj^-four ; pages of text, with seventy illustrations, and a full INDEX.
