This book is the fountainhead of physics
I suggest that some reviewers miss the significance of Maxwell's book Electricity and Magnetism.

A classic that still is worth reading
Whenever I teach a course which touches on electric or magnetic phenomena I find myself going through this book.

Electricity & Magnetism defined mathematically
The book in my opinion coming from a calculus III student is very rigorous and one needs to have a firm foundation on Mathematics I would say about calc III or better to even try to read this book.
