In the fractional moment of the worlds history, like its own self, Electrical Science has suddenly flashed into general utility, and is now rapidly lifting, not only the veritable darkness from the earth, but everywhere in home and office, field and mine, on land and sea, is demonstrating a scope of usefulness commensurate with the loftiest aspirations of man. Very circumscribed must be the mind, and decidedly limited the vision of him who can take no interest now in both the actual and possible verities of Electricity. I ts position is one of popular supremacy, from which its blessings fall upon the day, no less than the night, and from which the weary spaces and even time itself, seem to flee away. What it really is, no one knows; but what it is actually doing this book clearly tells in its sketch life ofT homas Alva Edison, the self-made electric king of the nineteenth century. So numerous are his inventions in every department of this wonderful science, and so fully are they described in this volume and generally by Mr. Edison himself that a careful perusal leaves little or nothing else to be known of what is practical, just now, in this marvellously interesting field. Connected with the life o. such a person, there is always an array of incident and anecdote in which a generous public manifest a keen interest that enlightens and entertains.
