Not illustrated.1756 Excerpt: ... This æther likewise pervades the pores of all bodies, and lies hid in them: and whilst the bodies with this fluid in them are left to themselves, (undisturbed by any external violence) this fluid from its elastic nature conforms itself, as to its degree of density, to the particular make of that body it is in. e. gr. It is not so dense in dense bodies, as in rare ones. Whence it seems to follow, that every body we have it in our power to make any experiment upon, has naturally within it (before it is disturbed by our experiment) one certain quantity of this fluid, in such a state of rarity or density, as is most agreable to the nature of each particular body. And hence it seems reasonable to conclude, that there will naturally arise some resistance to every endeavour, that is made, any how to alter the degree of density in the whole of any body, or in any particular part of it. And hence, that it will require some degree of force to alter the natural quantity of this fluid contained in every particular body; and more or less force according to the nature, and make of each. Now, as it is universally agreed among those, who are most conversant with electrical experiments, that the appearances, which occur in those experiments, arise from the force and action of a fluid of the same elastic nature, communicating, and freely passing in and out at the surface of the earth, and pervading likewise the pores of bodies: and as the clearest definition of what we mean, when we fay a body is electrified, is this, that either either the body has by the force of the experiment made m order to electrify it, been forced to part with a mare of this electrical fluid, that naturally belonged to it during the experiment, and to remain without it sometime after the exper...
