Eventually running to four editions, this enlarged collection of lectures by Henry Minchin Noad (1815–77) was published in 1844. Including explanations of atmospheric electricity, batteries, magnetism, and descriptions of dozens of contemporary experiments, it became a widely recognised textbook and still serves as a compelling introduction to electrical science.
