Abstract
Sir , In the Year 1729 I communicated to Dr. Desaguliers , and some other Gentleman, a Discovery I had then lately made, shewing that the Electrick Vertue of a Glass tube may be conveyed to any other Bodies, so as to give them the same Property of attracting repelling light Bodies,as the Tube does, when excited by rubbing; that this attractive Vertue might be carried to Bodies that were many Feet distant from the Tube.Keywords
