Although Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) is best known now for his work in chemistry, he was also dedicated to promoting the investigation of electricity - a topic often overlooked by his contemporaries. In this 1767 work, he explores the history of electrical study from ancient Greece to the most recent experiments.
