Présentation de l'éditeur
Lectures which now, for the first time, are brought before the public through the medium of the press, are arranged in nearly the same order as that in which I am in the habit of delivering them. I have, however, introduced some few experiments whose resulting phenomena are not sufficiently striking to be introduced with advantage at the lecture table; and there are some that I have not had an opportunity of repeating: such, for instance, as those on the heads and trunks of oxen, and on the human body. I have, however, had an opportunity of Galvanizing the bodies of four young men, who were drowned by falling through the ice, at Woolwich; but two hours having been occupied, by the usual routine of medical treatment, before the batteries were employed, there was not the remotest chance of obtaining beneficial results. Notwithstanding this loss of time, however, the bodies, with the exception of one, were still alive to the Galvanic influence. Some of the four opened their eyes and moved the lips; and one of them bent the elbow when the cur rent traversed the arm from the shoulder to the hand. But no motions of the chest could be produced by any applications of the battery that were tried. Throughout the whole of the course, I have selected such facts only, as best suited my purpose, and arranged them in that order which appears to me best calculated for teaching the rudiments of the science; and in order to keep in view the analogy which subsists in the phenomena emanating from different sources of electric action, I have introduced several original experiments never before published.

A Course of Twelve Elementary Lectures on Galvanism (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book celebrates the work of two brilliant scientists, Galvani and Volta, who helped lay the foundations of modern-day electrical studies. It begins with their independent investigations into frog reactions to electrical stimuli, their dispute over whether these reactions originated from an inherent animal electricity or from the metals used to deliver the stimuli, and the separate paths of discovery their disagreement led them down. The book gives detailed accounts of the experiments conducted by both men, reproducing their original words and illustrations, which makes this book a valuable historical resource. However, its value goes beyond that of historical record. In the wake of Galvani's and Volta's initial experiments, 19th-century scientists built on their discoveries to develop the voltaic pile, which laid the foundation of modern electric battery technology, and led to the further development of electrochemistry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330500941_0
