Excerpt from A Manual of Electricity, Practical and TheoreticalIt may seem extraordinary that the most commonly observed phenomenon of electricity had not been before noticed as a pro perty pertaining to electrical bodies. It should be borne in mind, however, that furs and silks, from the friction of which sparks are so frequently emitted, had not been classed as electrics, and the only property of electricity then known was that of attraction. It was not likely, therefore, until the two phenomena of attraction and the emission of light were observed combined in the same substance, that the excitement of sparks by friction should be considered due to electricity.To Otto Guericke must also be conceded the honour of having discovered the property of electric repulsion. He ascertained that a feather, when attracted to an excited electric, after adhering to it for a short time, is repelled from the surface, and that it will not again approach until it has touched some other body to which it can part with the electricity it contains. He observed, also, that a feather when thus repelled by an excited electric, always keeps the same side presented towards it. The correspondence between this fact and the position of the moon towards the earth, induced some speculative philosophers to assume that the revolution of the moon round the earth might be caused by electrical attraction and repulsion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ...between a copper wire and a brass ring. The intensity of the heat, when charcoal points were used, burned the charcoal rapidly away, and a file was deflagrated by the flame, even when the circuit was partially interrupted Dr. Callan estimates the power of a cast iron battery of his construction to be about fifteen times greater than that of a Wollaston's battery of the same size, and to be one-half more powerful than a Grove's nitric acid battery. Dr. Callan has since proposed to improve the action of his battery by making tiw owter cvlinders of sheet tin, coated with an alloy composed rf Md and tin in nearly equal proportions. Upon tin plates tii c cved diluted sulphuric acid has scarcely any action.
