I`ve had both editions. They are identical in content (no corrections).
Terman says essentially the same things about "skin effect". Griffith`s
examples and drawings are more extensive.

Charges are moved to the surface by reduced inductive opposition there.

Imagine a wire made of many concentric layers. Each layer`s current
produces inductive opposition. This is generated by the current that
layer carries. The inner layer is encircled by all the lines of all the
layers while the exterior layer is encircled by only the lines generated
by its current and none from the lines generated by the current in the
layers under it. Thus, there is little inductive opposition to current
on the surface of the wires.
