1888 Lesson in ELECTRICITY John Tyndall Science Lightning Experiments Edison era



“Lessons in Electricity at the Royal Institution 1875-6” by esteemed Irish physicist, John Tyndall, is an instructive volume that presents a series of lectures originally designed for young audiences, demonstrating the principles of electricity through simple and affordable experimental methods. Tyndalls work is characterized by its accessibility, aiming to demystify scientific apparatus and experiments, and make them attainable for school-level instruction. The book examines the foundational concepts of electric forces, conduction, induction, and the nature of electrical phenomena, progressing from basic attractions and repulsions to the complexities of atmospheric electricity and the physiological impacts of electric discharge. Each lecture is fortified with practical illustrations, totaling 58 in-text figures, which serve to clarify and visually engage readers with the experimental processes discussed. The book serves both as a historical account of science education as well as a resource for understanding the developments in the field of electricity during the time.
