Abstract
IT is known that Franklin made use of a series of Leyden jars or fulminating plates, arranged in the form of a cascade, to obtain strong discharges of static electricity; that, on the other hand, Volta, Ritter, Cruikshank, &c., were able to charge condensers by means of the pile, and that these results gave rise to researches, conducted both by calculation and experiment, on the part of a great number of physicists.
