‎First edition of Nollet's ""Lettres..."", the first two parts, which he continued up to 1767. In his first book on electricity 1747 he explained the electrical phenemena in accordence with Cartesian concepts as 'attraction' and 'repulsions'. By this publication he immedeately became the chief of European electricians. After serious criticism from a group lead by Buffon, Nollet published his amusing set of Lettres (1753), containing a wealth of experimental counterexamples to contradict the opposing theories, which drew their strenght from Franklin's occasional obscurities.Wheeler Gift Nos 379 + 379a.‎
