In 1872 Heaviside s first paper, Comparing of Electromotive Forces, was published. Heaviside s second paper was published in 1873 and attracted the attention of Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. In 1873 Heaviside was inspired by Maxwell s treatise on electricity and magnetism. It took Heaviside several years to fully understand Maxwell s book, which he then set aside to follow his own course of thinking. Finding Maxwell s conventional mathematics difficult to apply to practical matters, Heaviside... 

Maxwell s Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873) covered every branch of the science and was a source of ideas and discoveries for fifty years to come.

Today, no less than when these words were written, the proper orientation of science is toward the future. Yet, the uses of the scientific past are also becoming clearer— not the least being the continued application of Maxwell s memorable dictum on the didactic value of the study of historical accounts and of original works in science, found in the preface to the Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism It is of great advantage to the student of any subject to read the original memoirs on that subject, for science is always most completely assimilated when it is in the nascent state., . ...
