Describes experiments that demonstrate the principal facts relating an electric charge as a quantity capable of being measured, deductions from these facts, and the exhibition of electrical phenomena. It is supplemented by a selection of articles from his landmark book, Electricity and Magnetism. 53 figures. 6 plates. 1888 edition. Unabridged republication of the second edition published by The Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1888.
The Analytical Theory of Heat by Joseph Fourier Landmark publication that first showed how any discontinuous function could be represented by a trigonometric series and advanced many other concepts of modern mathematical physics, in unabridged 1878 Freeman translation
