A Shocking Omission

[beamjockey]

I've just conceived a desire to look at Benjamin Franklin's Experiments and Observations on Electricity, which you'd think would be on the Web someplace, being in the public domain and all. But I can't find a copy.

(Ben's tercentenary is coming up, which reminds me that I've never read his Autobiography, and I really should before 17 January 2006, don't you think? That book, at least, is available from Project Gutenberg.)

Of course if it is not on-line, this could be YOUR contribution to society!!
I once upon a time had this fantasy to have a personal webpage so unique that it could fill that function... Then time got in the way.
