Sinopsis

Excerpt from First Principles of Electrical Engineering: Being an Attempt to Provide an Elementary Book for Those Who Are Intending to Enter the Profession of Electrical Engineering

The aim is not to explain what electricity is, or what it is not, but to give a working foundation to students whose hope is to become practical men. The difficulty has been in a little work of the kind intended for beginners and beginners only, to decide what should go in and what should be left out. It may serve as an introductory study to the writings of Hopkinson, Kapp, Thompson, and other specialists.

Excerpt from First Principles of Electrical Engineering: Being an Attempt to Provide an Elementary Book for Those Who Are Intending to Enter the Profession of Electrical Engineering

A few words more for the edification of these gentlemen will probably raise their ire still further. The reviews of technical books written in the ordinary and so-called literary papers are a disgrace to journalism. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred they are evidently written by literary hacks, who have no more knowledge of the subject treated in the book than they have of the inhabitants of Jupiter, and yet school books and technical books are damned or praised by these ignoramuses. A book that is not upon the old conservative lines of their boyhood is put outside the pale - it is heterodox; as if they knew the difference between heterodoxy and orthodoxy. Well, these men will have a chance to say their say in regard to this book. It certainly does not follow old lines, it certainly has not the imprint of authority for all its digressions, it is not put forward as perfect, - far from it. The book has been written at odd times, laid aside sometimes for months, and then a portion added.

The author's contention is that all electrical and magnetic problems can be discussed in their relation to the conductive and the magnetic circuits and the interactions of these circuits. He has not rigidly adhered to his own views, but has interpolated in the text a third circuit, the inductive; which, however, he believes has no existence in fact whatever it may have in fancy, and however useful it may be as a convention.
