Message: [QUOTE="Rotwang, post: 3615983"] Oops, that should have been "Priestley", not "Priestly". Yes, I know. Are you under the impression that people who write books are unable to write about things which happened in the past? (Perhaps, as Joshua suggests, you inferred from my article that Newton himself wrote the book to which I referred. Nope. "Priestley on Electricity" was written by, er, Priestley.) I have a degree in physics from Oxford. I also have a postgraduate degree from Cambridge, yes - nominally a maths course but all the exams I sat were physics. What's to explain, other than your terrible reading comprehension? It shows. [/QUOTE]
