Abstract
WE have here an account of Nikola Tesla, his scientific inventions and work, by a devoted admirer. Mr. Martin is not a Boswell, and from the nature of the case his book could hardly have about it all that human interest which pervades the life and achievements of a veteran discoverer in science. Mr. Tesla is a young man whose career has been somewhat romantic, and whose ingenuity is such as to rank him very high indeed among the electrical workers and discoverers of the day. Born in Austro-Hungary, educated at the Realschule at Carstatt and the Polytechnic at Gratz, and professionally first in the Government Telegraph Department, and afterwards in Paris, his career as an engineer really began when he arrived in America little more than ten years ago.
Inventions, Researches, and Writings of Nikola Tesla.
By Thomas Commerford Martin. (New York: The Electrical Engineer, 1894.)
