Swiss Frs. 80. — * An important and rare work, containing according to Dr. E. Hoppe the discovery of electric influence (the rival claim to it being that of John Canton). It is also important for containing a modification and enlargement of Franklin's one-fluid theory of electricity, for giving an explanation of Franklin's plate, and for replacing in electric science the Cartesian notion of effluvia by Newton's theory of action at a distance. The Sermo is especially rare, and is the first work in which the author E^ discusses the one - and two - fluid theories of electricity of Franklin and Du Fay, and mentions the || « — .— | ^ electrie nature of heated tourmaline . s, 1 à D E s E j * 528 C.
