"MATTEUCCI, CARLO. - THE DISCOVERY OF THE ""CURRENT OF INJURY"" AND THE ""CURRENT OF REST"".
Reference : 47143
(1841)
Note sur les phénomenes électriques des animaux""
(Paris, Bachelier), 1841. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome XIII, No. 10. Pp. (487-) 558. (Entire issue offered). Matteucci's paper: pp. 540-41.
First appearance of a main paper in the history of electro-physiology.""The discovery by Volta of means for producing galvanic currents led to the construction of a galvanometer for measuring currents and later to its refinement.... In 1841 Matteucci presented... a paper which showed that a galvanometer indicates a curring flowing whenh it is connected from the surface of a muscle to a wound in the muscle, a current that was later called the ""current of injury"" and also the ""current of rest"", since it flowed without observable muscular contraction. Johannes Müller showed tis paper to his brilliant pupil, du Bois-reymond... Du Bois interest was caught at once. He published his first paper on ""thierische Electricität"" in 1843, and his two-volumes on the subject - soon to become the classic - in 1848-49.""(Boring ""History of Experimental Psychology"", p. 40).

(1820)
Expériences relatives à l'aimantation du fer et de l'acier par l'action du courant voltaïque.
(Paris, Crochard, 1820). No wrappers as extracted fron 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique', Volume 15 (2e Series). Pp. 93-102.
First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current, THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. ""Arago .... made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current, which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic ""currents"" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix, and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery, which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory.""(DSB).Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnel,whose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie ""A Source Book in Physics"", p. 443 ff.
"VOLTA, (ALEXANDRO). - ESTABLISHING THE ""ELECTRIC CURRENT"" - THE PRECURSOR OF THE VOLTAIC CELL.

(1797)
Extrait D'une lettre de M. Volta à M. Gren, sur l'électricité dite animale. Par Van Mons"" Traduit de L'Allemand. (+) Seconde lettre. (+) Addition a la Lettre précédente.
Paris, Guillaume/Fuchs, An VI, ou 1797, AN VII (1799). Without wrappers..In: ""Annales de Chimie, ou Recueil de Mémoires concernant la Chemie"" Tome 23, 4. Cahier. Titlepage to vol. 23. + Tome 29, Cahier 1, Titlepage to tome 29. Stamp to verso of titlepages. Pp. (225-) 336 + pp. (1-) 112. (2 entire issues offered). Volta's letters: pp. 276-315, 1 folded engraved plate with 22 figs. + pp. 91-93.
First French edition of these 3 letters to Gren in which Volta described his last steps towards his groundbreaking construction of his famous ""Pile"". In the letters he established the first law governing an electrical fluid and he anticipated both Davy and Faraday.""In 1796 Volta wrote three letters to Gren (published in German in Gren's N.J. der Physik). In THE FIRST he describes 'a very remarkable experiment'. A tin cup filled with soapy water, milk of lime, or better fairly strong alkaline ley, was held with one or both hands moistened witn ater, and the tip of the tongue dipped into the liquid. A sour taste was at once perceived by the tongue in contact with the alkaline liquid, which soon, changed into a salty and finally into a sharp alkaline taste. The acid taste was 'produced by the current of the electric fluid passing from the tin to thee alkaline liquer, from there to the tongue, then through the body to the layer of water and from there to the tin in a continous current..... In his SECOND LETTER Volta repeats this 'law' of the combination of three conductors. The mutual contact of silver and tin, for example, produces 'an action, a force, by means of which the first gives the electric fluid and the second receives it. If the circuit is completed by a humid concustor, a current or continous circulation of this fluid is set up in the direction indicated in the table (depicted on the attached plate)... In his THIRD LETTER Volta describes experiments in which plates of silver and zinc so smooth that they adhered on contact, polished, dry, and insulated, were brought in close contact, and separated by pulling them perpendicularly apart. They gave small deflections when applied directly to the electrometer...."" (Partington ""A History of Chemistry"", Vol. IV, pp. 10-12).
