Text is in French. The entire 1882 run of this French journal of electricity, which was published under this name from 1879 until at least 1894. Many detailed engraved illustrations and diagrams supplement the texts; some are full-page or close to it. Here in 1882, the journal returned to a weekly publication schedule, instead of every four days as it had done for the last half of 1881. Indexes are included ... but someone bound the index to the first volume in the front of the book instead of the back.
