Is there an anthology of classic papers on electricity?

Question

I'm trying to find a book similiar to Stephen Brush "Kinetic Theory of Gases: An Anthology of Classic Papers With Historical Commentary".
The electricity version, let's say!
I like to see how subjects and theories developed and nothing is more interesting to read classic papers on the subjects.
If you do know anything, please share!

Answer 1

If French works for you, O. Darrigol's Les équations de Maxwell: de MacCullagh à Lorentz (2005) is such an anthology, with comments drawn from his earlier book. Such collections are likely a dying breed, as all papers (in this case, nine by MacCullagh, Maxwell, Lorenz, Heaviside, Hertz, Lorentz) become freely available online.

Answer 2

See the hefty § "Magnetism and Electricity", pp. 387-616 of A Source Book in Physics by William Francis Magie. It contains selections, prefaced with a biography, of 37 scientists including Gilbert, Franklin, Coulomb, Galvani, Volta, Ørsted, Biot and Savart, Arago, Ampère, Ohm, Faraday, Lenz, Gauss, Joule, Maxwell, Hall, Hertz, et al.

Answer 3

This doesn't contain the actual papers, unfortunately, but perhaps you would still find it useful: A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity. It's fairly detailed and is a second-best alternative if you can't find an anthology of classic papers.
