Although France and other nations have taken active steps to give official sanction to the best known means of protection from the ill effects of atmospheric electricity, nothing in this way has ever been done in England for the public generally. The enquiries by householders and public bodies for advice and instruction were so numerous, the absence of authorized or well-matured directions was so marked, the practice in vogue so varied and anomalous, that it occurred to the Meteorological Society to take some action in the matter. Accordingly, at a Meeting of the Council of the Meteorological Society, held on 15th of May, 1878, it was resolved— ‘That the House Committee be instructed to address the following Societies:— The Royal Institute of British Architects, The Physical Society, The Society of Telegraph Engineers, asking them to name delegates to co-operate in considering the desirability or otherwise of issuing a code of rules for the erection of lightning conductors, and to proceed in preparing a code if it is thought desirable.’ This book cover details on the same.
