    i t A D V E RTISE'MEN T. ^fT^'HE former edition of thefe obfervations upon eledricity, was published in conjundion with my late worthy friend Dodor Hoadiy $ by his death, the care of this fecond edition devolves wholly on myfelf. It is therefore neceffary to obferve, that I have thought it ex¬ pedient to make fome alterations, and to add fome new experiments. I have been mindful, however, to give my reafons all along for doing this; and yet I am far from imagining that what I even now offer is perfed. The variety of effeds which this part of philofophy af¬ fords us, and the nicety required in making and obferv- ing the experiments, is fo great y that I am fenlible of the neceffity of fliil farther improvements before the data can be depended upon for fettling its principles.
