Abstract
The first electrostatics was for Maxwell but a mere blueprint; the second electrostatics, which we now explain, is, instead, a developed theory, to which its author returned on several occasions. More closely than the first theory, it is inspired by views of Faraday and especially Mossotti on the constitution of dielectrics.
