Excerpt from Plain Directions for the Construction and Erection of Lightning-Rods
At the same time, we would reiterate the statement which has been made in the body of the work, to the effect that amongst the scientific men of the present day there is no difference of opinion in regard to the general principles which should govern us in the construction and erection of lightning-rods. It is true that in a recent utterance, Prof. Henry, of Washington, whose scientific reputation stands very high, has gone back at least a century in his views. Fortunately, however, since some of his most important statements contradict the experience of every tyro in electrical experimentation, his opinions upon this subject cannot carry much weight. But with this single exception, we believe that scientific men are in perfect accord in regard to everything connected with lightning-rods.
