Experimental Researches in Electricity, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

For reasons stated in the former volume of Experimental Researches in Electricity, I have been induced to gather the remaining Series together, and to add to them certain other papers devoted toE lectrical research. To the prefatory remarks containing these reasons, I would recall the recollection of those who may honour these Researches with any further attention. I have printed the papers in this volume, as before, with little or no alteration, except that I have placed the fair and just date of each at the top of the pages. I regret the presence of those papers which partake of a controversial character, but could not help it; some of them contain much new, important and explanatory matter. The introduction of matter due to other parties .than myself, as Nobili and A ntinori, or Hare, was essential to the comprehension of the further development given in the replies. I owe many thanks to the Royal Society, toM r. Murray, and toM r. Taylor, for the great kindness I have received in the loan of plates, c, and in other facilities granted to me for the printing of the volume.
