During the 1880s, when people displayed interest, there was a demand for information about the field of discovery and invention. To fulfill this public request, H. T. Cory wrote this work to present a treatise on one of the many schemes of producing light by electric currents, namely The Thomson-Houston System. This work targeted the general reader as well as the learned. Hence, the author starts it by introducing the terminology of electricity. He follows a simple language that is easy to follow for any reader.
