James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), first Cavendish Professor of
Physics at Cambridge, made major contributions to many areas of
theoretical physics and mathematics, not least his discoveries in
the fields of electromagnetism and of the kinetic theory of gases,
which have been regarded as laying the foundations of all modern
physics. This work of 1881 was edited from Maxwell's notes by a
colleague, William Garnett, and had formed the basis of his
lectures. Several of the articles included in the present work were
also included in his two-volume Treatise on Electricity and
Magnetism (1873), also reissued in this series. The preface
indicates that the two works were aimed at somewhat different
audiences, the larger work assuming a greater knowledge of higher
mathematics. Maxwell had also modified some of his methodology, and
hoped to encourage the reader to develop an understanding of
concepts relating to electricity.
