First edition was published, in 3 Vols., 1768–1771, and the
eleventh edition, in 29 Vols., 1910–1911. The Index issued by
the Cambridge University Press, 1911, and the Indexes to the
Catalogue of the Wheeler Gift, have served as a guide for the
Index to this Bibliographical History, which will be found to
embrace all names of individuals and of publications likely
to prove of service to the general reader. It must be
conceded that “the value of any Index depends to a large
extent on the fulness of its cross-references,” and it will
be seen that our own Index has not only been made upon an
unusually extensive scale, but that the new “encyclopædic
system of alphabetization” has likewise been closely followed
along the lines adopted by the publishers of the Eleventh
“Britannica,” wherever found practicable.

To Brother Potamian, the author of this Bibliographical History
is much indebted for his Critical Notes to the Catalogue of
the Wheeler Gift ...: New York, 1909. Edited by Mr. Wm. D.
Weaver. On p. 191, Vol. I. of said Catalogue, an entry is
made of the above-named 1751 edition of “Experiments and
Observations ...,” with the following note: “These
experiments and discoveries, which have given Franklin such
fame were the work of four men, Benjamin Franklin, Philip
Syng, Thomas Hopkinson and Ebenezer Kinnersley; but, owing
to Franklin’s writing of them to England, they were published
in his name and have redounded to his credit solely (Ford, P.
L., Franklin Bibliography).”
