An elementary treatise on electricity by James Clerk Maxwell

"An Elementary Treatise on Electricity" by James Clerk Maxwell is a posthumously published treatise edited by William Garnett in 1881. Written approximately five years before Maxwell's death in 1879, this work presents electrical phenomena using Faraday's intuitive methods rather than advanced mathematics. Maxwell aimed to develop electrical understanding through compact presentation of experiments and concepts, emphasizing physical reasoning over mathematical formalism. The book remains incomplete, with later chapters constructed from Maxwell's larger work on electricity and magnetism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
