""A Popular Sketch of Electromagnetism or Electrodynamics: and Outlines of the Parent Sciences of Electricity and Magnetism"" is a book written by Francis Watkins and originally published in 1856. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of electromagnetism and electrodynamics, and provides readers with an understanding of the principles and theories that underlie the science of electricity and magnetism. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the subject matter. The first section provides an introduction to the basic concepts of electricity and magnetism, including the properties of electric charges, the behavior of electric fields, and the principles of electromagnetic induction. The subsequent sections delve deeper into the subject matter, exploring topics such as the laws of electrostatics, the behavior of magnetic fields, and the principles of electromagnetic waves. The book also includes discussions of the history of electromagnetism, as well as the practical applications of the science in fields such as telecommunications and electrical engineering. Throughout the book, Watkins uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, making the material accessible to readers with little or no prior knowledge of the subject. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about electromagnetism and its applications in modern science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
