This is the age of electricity. The most fascinating of all books for a
boy must therefore be one dealing with the mystery of this ancient force
and modern wonder, even a mere list of whose services is impossible. The
best qualified of experts to instruct boys, Alfred P. Morgan, has in a
book far superior to any other of its kind told not only how to make all
kinds of motors, telegraphs, telephones, batteries, etc., and to do so
economically, but has explained the principles upon which these depend
for operation, and how the same thing is done in the every-day world be
well presented and so attractive is this really great book that it will
be an education for any bright boy to have it, as well as the best kind
of a moral safeguard, by leaving no time or thought for evil, and a
means of future benefit beyond the power of any one to reckon. Glancing
over the pages of this book, one cannot but be impressed by the
excellent illustrations, clearness of expression and the large number of
subjects that are covered. It is beyond doubt the best book in this line
that has ever been written or published. It is a book that will delight
every boy who has a leaning towards electrical experiments. The author
writes in a clear and chatty style and while he has a thorough technical
knowledge of his subject he has succeeded in treating it in a simple
manner so that it is readily intelligible to his young readers.
