much indebted for his Critical Notes to
the Catalogue of the Wheeler Gift

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 Hop-
kinson 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
