| Summary | "Expériences et observations sur l'électricité faites à Philadelphie en Amérique" by M. Benjamin Franklin is a scientific publication likely written in the mid-18th century. The book is a collection of letters discussing various electrical experiments and observations conducted by Franklin, providing insights into the nature and effects of electricity. The work is notable for its empirical approach, where Franklin presents his findings and theories regarding electricity, contributing to the body of knowledge in physics. At the start of the text, Franklin communicates his initial observations related to electricity through letters to his correspondent, M. P. Collinson. He details experiments involving the electric bottle and discusses the concept of electrical charge, introducing terms such as “positive” and “negative” electricity. Franklin emphasizes the importance of systematic experimentation and careful observation, indicating that the understanding of electricity is still in its infancy, despite prior knowledge. He expresses a commitment to using empirical data to explore the mysteries of electricity, setting the stage for the experiments and theories that follow in the subsequent chapters.
