A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism cover

Originally published in 1891, and now part of the Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences series, this celebrated treatise details Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism that underpins much of modern physics. The theory inspired both Lorentz's theories on the electron and Einstein's theory of relativity.

'The formulation of these equations is the most important event in physics since Newton's time' * Albert Einstein in The Evolution of Physics *
