Outlines of Electricity and Magnetism
Charles Albert Perkins
Paperback
(Forgotten Books, June 16, 2012)
It is not possible for an elementary text-book to be up to date. Before any theory is sufficiently established to find a place there, new views are already appearing, modifying our ideas. At the same time the changes in the modern conception of electrical action demand more recognition than has been given them. Since the student must necessarily form some definite idea as to how such actions take place, it is important that these ideas should be, from the very first, in accordance with the best theories. No subsequent effort can take the place of correct initial conceptions. This book makes no claim to be a complete treatise. While adapted to somewhat elementary courses, I hope it may also serve as a clear and logical syllabus for more advanced ones. Although much has been omitted that many would wish to include, I believe that I have included little that any would wish to omit. 0. A. P.
