  Discussion of atmospheric phenomena from electricity: draft translation of treatise

  Manuscripts

  Copy of a translation from the Russian into English of a manuscript about atmospheric electricity originally written by Mikhail Vasilevich Lomonosov in 1753. The translation, by David Kraus of the American Meteorological Society, resulted from a request made by Bernard Vonnegut of the Department of Atmospheric Science at the State University of New York in Albany in 1963. Also includes a letter dated 1970, May 28 from Bernard Vonnegut to Bern Dibner enclosing the typescript and stating that Lomonosov's work in some ways paralleled that of Benjamin Franklin, and a response from Bern Dibner dated 1970, June 29 thanking Vonnegut for the donation and encouraging Vonnegut's investigation of Franklin's electrical chimes.
