Practical lightning protection for buildings that aims to protect life and property

This historical manual, originally published in the 1880s, explains a radial approach to directing lightning safely to earth. It covers the theory of atmospheric electricity and the practical work of applying conductors to buildings, including rain-pipes and earth terminals. The book emphasizes reliable methods that connect the roof and rain-water systems to a moistened earth path, with attention to avoiding common defects in older systems. It also discusses the employment of metal roofs and earth connections to improve protection, and it presents opinions from engineers and electricians of the era to support its approach. The text blends both theory and hands-on instructions for installers and engineers interested in durable lightning protection solutions.

Foundations of electricity, potential, and discharge explained in plain terms.
Step-by-step guidance on using rain-pipes, perforated earth pipes, and earth terminals.
Methods to moisten the surrounding earth to create reliable electrical paths.
Discussion of common failures and why certain systems fail to protect buildings.

Ideal for readers of historical engineering works, or anyone exploring early practical methods of lightning protection and building safety.
