amber when rubbed would attract
and repel light bodies. They obtained
similar results with other metals and
different substances.
DIR. Gilbert. of Colchester, Eng
land, may be considered the founder
of the electrical science. for he is the
first man who repeated the expert
ments performed by the ancients.
In order to determine if other bodies
possessed the some properties as am
Der he fastened a light metallic
needle on a pivot and observed
whether or not il was affected by
causing the excited body to approach
it. In this way he found that glass,
sealing-wax, hard resin and dia-
monds possessed the same properties
as amber.
The Messrs. Boyle, Gray, Won
Gueriche, Newton, Dafay, Legion
and Watson added many striking
discoveries to the electrical science.
