Excerpt from Electricity of to-Day Its Work Mysteries Described, in Non-Technical Language
"Admirable ... clear and concise." - The graphic.
"Very entertaining and instructive." - The Queen.
"Everywhere Mr. Charles R. Gibson makes admirable use of simple analogies which bespeak the practiced lecturer, and bring the matter home without technical detail. The attention is further sustained by a series of surprises. The description of electric units, the volt, the ohm, and especially the ampere, is better than we have found in more pretentious works." - Academy.
"Mr. Gibson's style is very unlike the ordinary text-book. It is fresh, and is non-technical. Its facts are strictly scientific, however, and thoroughly up-to-date. If we wish to gain a thorough knowledge of electricity pleasantly and without too much trouble on our own part, we will read Mr. Gibson's 'Romance.'" - Expository Times.
