1860, Alfred Charles Garratt, Electro-physiology and electro-therapeutics, page 23:As experiments teach us that all bodies in nature upon being rubbed acquire one or the other of these two electricities, the following law is deduced […] That there is attraction between an electrized body and a body that is not so.
