This book was originally printed in 1894 by Electrical Engineer Magazine of New York. It is reprinted in its exact original form without a new preface or any comment on the “cult of Tesla” that has blossomed in recent years. It is very technical and concerns itself primarily with the nature of electricity and its applications to lighting and motors. A good source for anybody who is setting out to study the greater body of Tesla's work, it shows how he was perceived by his peers and just how much of what he achieved is now taken for granted. Anybody seeking biographical detail or the “classified stuff” is advised to look elsewhere. This is a very specific (and thorough) look at a focused area of endeavor. SA
