1746 Electricity 1^ed Nollet Science Experiments Corps Illustrated Ben Franklin

Jean-Antoine Nollet was an 18^th-century French physicist who made incredible contributions to world of physical science. Perhaps his best work came with from his experiments with electricity and his displays of static electricity. In his myriad of letters on electricity, Nollet describes his process and studies with electricity, but his letters on electricity are certainly most famous for attacking Benjamin Franklin’s electricity research. In fact, it is thought that these letters were responsible for separating electricity scientists into ‘Franklinists’ and ‘anti-Franklinists’ (Priestly)

In 1746, Nollet published one of his many treatises on electricity, “Essai sur l’electricite des corps”. This first edition illustrates and describes many of his experiments with four impressive, folding engravings!
