First printing of Faraday's famous letter to Gay-Lussac in which he claim to be the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction, analysed the results of the Italian philosophers, pointing out their errors, and defending himself from what he regarded as imputations on his character. The style of this letter is unexceptionable, for Faraday could not write otherwise than as a gentleman"" but the letter shows that had he willed it he could have hit hard. The letter was later translated into English and published in ""Philosophical Magazine"" in 1840 under the title ""On Magneto-electric Induction"".""In 1831, seemingly out of nowhere, came the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the beginning of the experimental researches in electricity which were to lead Faraday to the discovery of the laws of electrochemistry, specific inductive capacity, the Faraday effect, and the foundations of classical field theory."" (DSB). The volume contains further importent papers by AMPÈRE ""Note sur une Experience de Hippolyte Pixii, relative au Courant produit par la Rotation d'un aimant, à l'aide dün appareil imagine par M. Hippolyte Pixii"", WÖHLER et LIEBIG ""recherches sur le Radical de l'Acide benzoique"" and ""Lettre de M. Berzelius sur le Benzoyle et l'Acide benzoique"", papers by Strohmeyer, Gay-Lussac, Dutrochet, Boussingault, BERZELIUS ""Sur le Bleu de Prusse et le Cyanoferrure de plomb"" etc. etc.
