Abstract
IN the title of this paper as originally offered for communication “Air Condenser” stood in place of “Air Leyden,” but it was accompanied by a request to the Secretaries to help me to a better designation than “Air Condenser” (with its ambiguous suggestion of an apparatus for condensing air), and I was happily answered by Lord Rayleigh with a proposal to use the word “leyden” to denote a generalized Leyden jar, which I have gladly adopted.
