I wrote in this blog http://globalpioneering.com/wp02/ that Benjamin Franklin founded the science of electricity but in physics textbooks he is not mentioned at all. Instead physics textbooks mention Newton as the discoverer of law of electricity. For instance, Coulomb’s law. Can anyone verify this?

When you look at physics textbooks is Benjamin Franklin mentioned as a great scientist who founded the science of electricity or is he not mentioned at all?
Thanks so much for your help.
