APPENDIX G. CATALOGUE OF WORKS UPON LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS, WITH A FEW UPON LIGHTNING, THUNDER, AND THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING STROKES, Chiefly extracted from the Ronald’s Catalogue, edited by Mr. Frost, but supplemented and brought down to 1880 by extracts from the Catalogues of R. ANDERSON, F.C.S.; LATIMER CLARK, C.E.; and G. J. SYMONS, F.R.S.

There are not many comments needed upon the following catalogue, but a few are necessary.

The arrangement is, with one exception, strictly alphabetical under author’s names; that exception being that all the Official Instructions issued in France are placed together at the beginning of the catalogue.

The initials R, C, A, S, are those of the Catalogues or Libraries in which the works are to be found; small type indicates that the title of the work is given in the catalogue indicated; large type that a copy of the book is in that Library. As Mr. Anderson does not state distinctly whether he possesses the books or has merely their titles, it has been thought safer to mark those taken from his catalogue with the small A. The existence of any specified work in a certain library is absolute proof of the existence of the book, and hence the larger type has a certain value, and, besides that, I purpose, immediately after the publication of this Report, presenting to the Society of Telegraph Engineers all the Electrical works which are in my library but are not in the Ronald’s Library. It may therefore be assumed that most of the works to which a large type initial is prefixed are, or soon will be, in the splendid collections of the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians.

The small figures in the front column show the pages of Appendix F, upon which abstracts of upwards of fifty of the following works will be found—and thus it forms an index to the works abstracted.
