Biographical sketch of Henry, v.1, p. 106-107; biographical sketch of
Faraday, v.2, p.93-94.

The discovery of magneto-electricity was made independently by Henry
and Faraday. The latter published his experiments first, although
there are good grounds for believing his work was antedated by
Henry's. V.I contains also an account of Henry's improvements in
electromagnets, which first proved that they might be constructed of
almost any desired power.

General, and intended for readers who have no previous knowledge of
the subject. The various practical uses of electricity, with the ap-
paratus for each, are explained.

EVERETT, Joseph David.

Electricity. 1901

..537 E95

An expansion of v.3 of the author's Elementary treatise on natural
philosophy, based on the Traité de physique of A. Privat-Deschanel,
on the lines of modern electrical theory.

"The account it gives of fundamental electrical phenomena is admirable,
the descriptions of apparatus are clear and good, though at times
slightly too concise...and the illustrations are excellent... Prof.
Everett has hampered himself in his attempt to give a modern theory
of electricity by retaining even that part of the old [treatise] which
he has kept; the result is somewhat of a patchwork." Nature, 1901.
