With bookplate of the Herbert Lister Bowman Library, Laboratory of Mineralogy, University of Oxford. Bowman (1874-1942) was Waynflete Professor of Mineralogy and Crystallography. Also inscribed to \'Herbert Lister Bowman with best love from his Godfather J. Fred. Bowman. Xmas 1892\'.. Revised and edited by Sylvanus P. Thompson. Translated from the French by Colman C. Starling and R. Mullineux Walmsley. Attractive chromolithographic frontispiece of the Aurora Borealis and numerous wood engravings, many showing scientific instruments. This work includes chapters on Electric Machines, Electric Meteorology, the Telephone and the Microphone, Electric Motors, Lighting by Electricity, Electricity in Warfare, etc., etc.\'The Editor is anxious that this work should be estimated not beyond the pretensions it makes to be a popular, simple, non-mathematical exposition of the science that now excites such general interest. It is intended for the table of the drawing-room rather than for the desk of the student, and must not therefore be judged as though it pretended to be a text-book reference.\' (Editor\'s Preface).
