Synopsis
Excerpt from Electrical Experiments: Illustrating the Theory, Practice, and Application of the Science of Free or Frictional Electricity; Containing the Methods of Making and Managing Electrical Apparatus of Every Description, With Numerous Illustrative Engravings
Besides the value of electricity in teaching us the laws and effects of the fluid we have been describing, in thus explaining so many of the grander phenomena of nature, and directing us' to guard our persons and property in some degree against their destructive effects - the science has other claims to our notice. Its application has been found efficacious in curing some of the most lingering and painful diseases; the general laws to be remembered are few all the apparatus necessary may be made either by ourselves or by ordinary workmen at little expense; the experiments require for their suc cess only common care and attention, and yet are so brilliant, so varied, and so surprising, as to be a never-failing source of wonder and delight.
