‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "In September 1829 Quetelet visited Göttingen and found Gauss very interested in terrestrial magnetism... In 1832 Gauss presented to the Academy the Intensitas vis magneticae terrestris ad mensuram absolutam revocata (1833) in which appeared the first systematic use of absolute units (distance, mass, time) to measure a nonmechanical quantity. Here Gauss typically acknowledged the help of Weber but did not include him as joint author. Stimulated by Faraday's discovery of induced current in 1831, the pair energetically investigated electrical phenomena. They arrived at Kirchhoff's laws in 1833 and anticipated various discoveries in static, thermal and frictional electricity...". (DSB V p. 305)**2300/M6DE‎
