Things a Boy Should Know About Electricity: Second Edition
St. John, Thomas M. (Thomas Matthew)
Electricity
Enough of the principles of electricity are brought out to make the
book instructive as well as amusing. The experiments are systematically
arranged, and make a fascinating science course. No chemicals, no
danger.
The book is conversational and not at all "schooly," Harry and Ned
being two boys who perform the experiments and talk over the results as
they go along.
"The book reads like a story."--"An appropriate present for a
boy or girl."--"Intelligent parents will appreciate 'Fun With
Electricity.'"--"Very complete, because it contains both book and
apparatus."--"There is no end to the fun which a boy or girl can have
with this fascinating amusement."
