Home-made Electrical Apparatus

Chapter 1: Transcriber's Note This book was transcribed from scans of the original found at the Internet Archive. The page scans were done by Google. The original book was done as three volumes, but the edition I have transcribed put all three volumes together as a clothbound book. As a result it had three identical prefaces and duplicated ads. I have included one preface, at the beginning, and put the ads at the end of the book. I have rotated a couple of illustrations.
