Excerpt from Outlines of the Theory of Electromagnetism: A Series of Lectures Delivered Before the Calcutta University The University of Calcutta did me the honour early in 1908 to appoint me Reader, and asked me to deliver a series of lectures upon some subject, preferably electrical, which would be of use to the lecturers in the outlying colleges as well as to the more advanced students in Calcutta. It was a condition of the appointment that the lectures should subsequently be published, and it appeared that I could best attain these ends by attempting to put some of the more important developments of electromagnetic theory into a connected and convenient form. It is therefore chiefly in the mode of presentation, rather than in the subject matter, that any originality which the lectures may possess must be sought. For the material I am very largely indebted to the writings of H. A. Lorentz, while some features in the treatment of vector analysis are taken from the Vector Analysis of E. B. Wilson.
