Abstract
THE Harvard University Press and Mr. Cohen have performed a very useful service in making Franklin's “Experiments and Observations” accessible in this convenient form. Mr. Cohen has written an introduction comprising chapters on Franklin and science, electricity before Franklin, Franklin's work in electricity and on the editions of Franklin's book. It is intended to serve both as an introduction to the text and as a study of Franklin as a man of science. It gives evidence of much research and fulfils its purpose admirably.
