Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scientific Researches, Experimental and Theoretical, in Electricity, Magnetism, Galvanism, Electro-Magnetism, and Electro-Chemistry: With Copper-Plates
Although it is seldom of much consequence to the generality of readers to be informed what were the motives or circumstances that caused the appearance of any literary performance, there are certain persons who place so much importance in matters of this kind that their opinions of the character of a work are formed by these alone; and, as it is a matter of considerable consequence to many authors that the motives which stimulated them to usher their labours into public notice should neither be misrepresented nor misunderstood, they are justified in taking the best means of security against misapprehension by placing them before their readers in a clear and unequivocal form.
