A history of electricity : the intellectual rise in electricity from antiquity to the days of Benjamin Franklin
Park Benjamin's 1898 history of electricity, published in New York by J. Wiley & Sons, traces magnetism and electrical experiment from antiquity to Franklin for general and scientific readers. Its 29 figures reproduce early modern engravings and diagrams: sulphur globes, friction machines, lodestone spheres labelled in Latin, compass mountings, and hatched instrument plates usable as line art or diagram sources.
