Excerpt from Electricity and Magnetism: Being a Series of Advanced Primers of Electricity The Advanced Primers of Electricity are in no sense to be regarded as revisions of the author's Primers of Electricity, which were published during the International Electrical Exhibition held in Philadelphia, in 1884. The International Electrical Exhibition Primers, written during the early days of the Exhibition, were intended to explain merely the elementary principles of electricity to a public which was then almost entirely ignorant of even the rudiments of the science.
