Experiments and Observations on Electricity Made at Philadelphia in America

Description of book

'Experiments and Observations on Electricity' by Benjamin Franklin is a remarkable collection of letters that sheds light on the early experiments and discoveries made in the field of electricity. Although not a thrilling read to modern readers accustomed to using electricity in their daily lives, it is a testament to how much we have come to take for granted. What makes this collection special is Franklin's humility in admitting his doubts and his eagerness to learn and improve, exemplified by his favorite quote: "Even a bad solution read, and its faults discover'd, has often given rise to a good one in the mind of an ingenious reader."
