He inferred that water is a simple body, which becomes oxygen when combined with positive electricity, and hydrogen when united to an equivalent proportion of negative electricity. These two kinds of electricity are imaginary absurdities invented by Dufay, who called them vitreous and resinous electricities, to render electrical phenomena intelligible. Franklin be- lieved in only one electricity ; a body being in a state of positive electricity when possessed by an excess of the fluid, and in a... negative condition when deficient of that equipoised amount which he supposed to be necessary to the neutral and quiescent existence of all bodies. On a foundation so unsubstantial as Dubay's figment, did Bitter build his inference. In 1803, Hisinger and Berzelius of Sweden determined that many compound bodies are resolved into their proximate elements, when a current of galvanism is sent through them in a state of solution ; and made the im- portant generalisation that acids invariably gather round the positive, and alkalis appear at the negative, wire of the pile.
