CATALOGUE. — ELECTRIC IT V, 



The distribution of electricity is npt regulated by elective 

 attractions. The fluid in conductors is accumulated at the 

 surface, and does not penetrate the body, as Cavendish had 

 before observed. 



Cor.lomb on the distribution of the electric 

 riiiid. A. P. 1787. 421. 



With experiments. 



Coulomb on the distribiltion of the electric 

 fluid in diflercnt parts of conductors. A. P. 

 1788. 617. 



With experiments. 



In order to avoid the supposed electric repulsion of mat- 

 ter, Coulomb, imagines two fluids possessed of equivalent 

 properties, neutralising each other's elasticity like oxygen 

 and hydrogen combined.

 Observes, that glass may receive a certain portion of 

 electricity without discharging any from the other side ; 

 and that the capacity of a body is proportional to its sur- 

 face only.
