How to make and use electricity ..
A cheap instructional manual on home electrical experiments, written by George Trebel and issued by the dime-novel publisher Frank Tousey in New York in 1889 for amateur tinkerers and boys. Line-cut covers combine heavy display lettering with oval vignettes of a workshop and a canoe, while interior wood engravings show men demonstrating static charge, batteries, jars and frictional machines.
