Or, to express it more concisely, if you look upon the electric fluid as matter of a contrary kind to other matter...
الصفحة xlv - He would undertake the most laborious researches in order to clear up a difficulty which no one but himself could appreciate, or was even aware of, and we cannot doubt that the result of his enquiries, when successful, gave him a certain degree of satisfaction. But it did not excite in him that desire to communicate the discovery to others which, in the case of ordinary men of science, generally ensures the publication of their results. How completely these researches of Cavendish remained unknown...
الصفحة lx - Arts. 57-1, 575, 629, 686. intensity, are contained in the Report of the British Association for 1876. The laws of the strength of currents in multiple and divided circuits are accurately stated by Cavendish in Arts. 417, 597, 598. Cavendish applied the same method of experiment to compare the resistance of the same liquid at different temperatures*, and he found that "salt in 69 [of water] conducts 1'97 times better in heat of 105 than in that of 58£." He also found that "the proportion of the...

" The vigour of the fresh taken Torpedos at the Isle of R6 was not "able to force the torpedinal fluid across the minutest tract of air; " not from one link of a small chain, suspended freely, to another ; not " through an almost invisible separation, made by the edge of a pen" knife in a slip of tinfoil pasted on sealing-wax.
