Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Absolute Measurements in Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 1 of 2 The present work is an extension of my small book which, published in 1884, has long been out of print. When the question of the issue of a second edition arose about three years ago, it was thought desirable to extend the plan of the former book so as to make the new work a fairly complete treatise on the absolute measurement of electric and magnetic quantities. It has not been my aim to produce a work dealing with mere manipulative processes or a collection of practical rules, but one in which should be welded together, in some degree at least, the practice of absolute measure ments and the mathematical theory of electric and magnetic phenomena.
