when the Wire has been properly conduced, has 
always happen’d. 
From a Review of thefe Experiments, the fol- 
lowing Obfervations may be deduced. 
I. That, in all the preceding Operations, when the 
Wires have been properly conduced, the electri- 
cal Commotions from the charged Phial have 
been very confiderable only, when the Obfervers 
at the Extremities of the Wire have touched fomc 
Subftance readily conducting Electricity with fome 
Part of their Bodies, 
II. That the electrical Commotion is always felt 
molt fenftbly in thofe Parts of the Bodies of the 
Obfervers, which are between the conducting 
Wires, and the neareft and the mod non-electric 
Subftance ; or in other Words, fo much of their 
Bodies, as comes within the electrical Circuit. 
III. That, upon thefe Confiderations, we infer, that 
the electrical Power is conducted between thefe 
Obfervers by any non electric Subftances, which 
happen to be fituated between them, and contri- 
bute to form the electrical Circuit; 
IV. That the electrical Commotion has been per- 
ceptible to two or more Obfervers at confiderable 
Diftances from each other^ even as far as two 
Miles. 
V. That when the Obfervers have been Blocked at the 
End of two Miles of Wire, we infer, that the electri- 
cal Circuit is four Miles ; viz. two Miles of Wire, 
and the Space of two Miles of the nan-electric 
Matter
