Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Henry Cavendish (1731 1810) was an English scientist whose
published work was mostly concerned with electricity. He was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1760. Cavendish was a
prolific scientific investigator, performing experiments on not
only electricity but also magnetism, thermometry, gases, heat
potential and the chemical composition of water. Although he
published some of his research, including his discovery of
hydrogen, the majority of his work remained unpublished until 1879,
when James Clerk Maxwell published a collection of Cavendish's
electrical experiments. These papers showed that Cavendish had
discovered many important electrical concepts which had since been
credited to other researchers, including the concept of electric
potential. First published in 1921, these volumes are a collection
of Cavendish's results from his many experiments. Volume 2 contains
previously unpublished papers showing the results of Cavendish's
chemical, magnetic and thermometry experiments.
