"History of Electric Light" by Henry Schroeder is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the development of electric light from its early experiments and discoveries to the innovations that led to practical applications in everyday life. It examines the contributions of various inventors, scientists, and technical advancements that shaped the evolution of lighting technology. The opening of the book outlines the origins and historical context of electricity and magnetism. It begins with early discoveries made in ancient times, followed by significant contributions from philosophers and scientists throughout history. The text highlights key experiments, such as Thales' observations, Volta's development of the electric battery, and Davy's demonstrations of incandescent light. These foundational discoveries set the stage for the subsequent exploration of electric light innovations and inventions that are further discussed later in the book.
