The History and Present State of Electricity


''The History and Present State of Electricity'' (1767), by eighteenth-century British polymath Joseph Priestley, is a survey of the study of electricity up until 1766 as well as a description of experiments by Priestley himself.〔Priestley, Joseph. ''The History and Present State of Electricity, with original experiments''. London: Printed for J. Dodsley, J. Johnson and T. Cadell, 1767.〕
==Background==
Priestley became interested in electricity while he was teaching at Warrington Academy. Friends introduced him to the major British experimenters in the field: John Canton, William Watson, and Benjamin Franklin. These men encouraged Priestley to perform the experiments he was writing about in his history; they believed that he could better describe the experiments if he had performed them himself. In the process of replicating others' experiments, however, Priestley became intrigued by the still unanswered questions regarding electricity and was prompted to design and undertake his own experiments.〔Schofield, 141–44; 152; Jackson, 64–66; Uglow 75–77; Thorpe, 61–65.〕
Priestley possessed an electrical machine designed by Edward Nairne. With his brother Timothy he designed and constructed his own machines (see Timothy Priestley#Scientific apparatus).〔W. D. A. Smith, ''Under the Influence: A history of nitrous oxide and oxygen anaesthesia'', Macmillan (1982), pp. 5–7.〕
