Book Description
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was one of the most influential physicists of the nineteenth century. This work of 1881, based on his lectures, was intended to complement his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), to provide less mathematical students with an understanding of fundamental concepts regarding electricity.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Elementary Treatise on Electricity: Second Edition (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
Maxwell used to teach working class people physics (as part of his socialist convictions) at the University of London among other places and these elementary books are a product of those lectures. It must have been surreal to be part of those lectures and learn from the grand master of physics. It is such a great pity that he died at 47. Had he lived, he would easily have crafted The Special Theory of Relativity as well.
