About this book
Experiments and Observations on Electricity Made at Philadelphia in America names Benjamin Franklin and says the work was communicated in several Letters to Mr. P. Collinson, of London. The preface says the observations and experiments were not drawn up with a view to their being made publick, but were communicated at different times, and most of them in letters. The text asks the reader to suppose that the common quantity of Electricity in each part of the bottle, before the operation begins, is equal to 20.
The text speaks of the electrical fire discharged into the polar regions, and says this is supposed to account for the Aurora Borealis. The text says that if the prime conductor be electrified, and the cork balls in a state of repellency before the bottle is charged, they continue so afterwards.
