LODGE, Les théories modernes de l'électricité, 1891

First french edition.
Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge (1851-1940) was a renowned British physicist and inventor, F.R.S. and professor of physics at University College, Liverpool. His work Les théories modernes de l'électricité (Modern Theories of Electricity) is an exploration of theoretical advances in electricity in the late 19th century, a period of profound upheaval and discoveries in this field. The book proposes an "essay on a new theory," reflecting efforts to unify the understanding of electrical phenomena. The French translation by E. Meylan, a civil engineer and former editorial secretary of "La Lumière électrique," made these innovative ideas accessible to the French-speaking scientific community, contributing to the dissemination of electromagnetic theories.
