Summary
The most important of the alterations made in this Edition is a new chapter on the properties of moving electrified bodies; many of these properties may be proved in a simple way, and the important part played by moving charges in Modern Physics seems to warrant a discussion of their properties in even an Elementary Treatise.
I have much pleasure in thanking Mr G. F. C. Searle of Peterhouse for many valuable suggestions, and for his kindness in reading the proof sheets of the first five chapters; to Mr P. V. Bevan of Trinity College I am indebted for similar assistance with the subsequent chapters.
