Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Lighting: Translated From the French The intelligent perusal Of this work nevertheles's; 'a reader altogether new to the subject would do well to acquire clear ideas of a few elementary facts. Almost any Of the cheap manuals which now abound would suffice to convey all the information required; but it could not, attained more pleasantly and profitably than by a refererice to Professor Tyndall's Notes Of a Course Of Seven Lectures on Electrical Phenomena and Theories, which may be had for a few pence. The present translation contains all the author's notes, references, and appendices. T 0 these, two other appendices are now added by the translator. The first gives the English equivalents Of the French weights, measures, etc., which, on account of their now almost universal employment for scientific purposes, it has been deemed expedient to retain in the text. The second is a brief notice Of some forms Of incandescent lamps, and of another recent invention, which have come into prominence since the publication Of the origi nal work. Several lamps of this kind may now be said to have proved completely successful in practice, and the forms described in the appendix are those which have attracted the largest share Of public attention, as Offering the simplest and most effective solution Of nearly all the difficulties that have hitherto attended the application Of' electric lighting to domestic and certain other purposes.
