This book came from Maxwell's own detailed manuscripts of lectures given at the Cavendish Laboratory, an institution he founded in at Cambridge University. He was the first Cavendish Professor of Physics whose achievements concerning electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realized by Newton.

In , on the th anniversary of Maxwell's birth, Einstein described the change in the conception of reality in physics that resulted from Maxwell's work as "the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton. In Maxwell became the first Cavendish professor of physics at Cambridge. He spent the next few years designing and supervising the Cavendish laboratory.

This volume, first published 2 years after Maxwell's death, consists mostly of a manuscript he had been composing before his death based on lectures given at the laboratory.

It also contains complementary articles selected from Maxwell's Electricity and Magnetism. Bound in the original cloth by the greatest physicist of the 19th century.
