VOLTA, Alessandro. On the Electricity excited by the mere Contact of conducting Substances of different kinds. In a letter from Mr. Alexander Volta, F.R.S. Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Pavia, to the Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. K.B. P.R.S. [drop-title]. In: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Vol. 90 (1800), part II, pp. 403-431, 1 engraved folding plate. Bound with: HERSCHEL, William - 1. Investigation of the Powers of the prismatic Colours to heat and illuminate Objects. - 2. Experiments on the Refrangibility of the invisible Rays of the Sun. - 3. Experiments on the Solar and on the Terrestrial Rays that occasion Heat, pp. 255-83, 1 plate; pp. 284-92, 1 plate; pp. 293-326, 5 plates, respectively. Whole volume of all three parts: vi, 238, 26; [4], 239-436; [4], 437-732, [8] pp., including separate title to each part, one text diagram and 33 (of 33) engraved folding plates. London: W. Bulmer & Co. for Peter Elmsley, 1800. 4to (226 x 195 mm). Contemporary full vellum, spine with 4 raised bands and red morocco lettering piece in 2nd compartment, boards ruled in blind, red-sprinkled edges, original endpapers (joint of upper board partly cracked but cords holding firmly, vellum slightly soiled at extremities).

br>"THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE VOLTAIC 'PILE,' OR ELECTRIC BATTERY" (Horblit) in the complete volume of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society London. With further important contributions by William Herschel and Thomas Young, this annual volume can be considered one of the most significant ever published in this or any other scientific journal.
Volta's invention of the electric battery (the 'voltaic pile') was composed of pairs of silver and zinc disks separated by cardboard soaked in saline or acid solution. It was a breakthrough in physics, and led to the development of electrotechnology. 'The voltaic pile revolutionized the theory and practice of electricity, so that within one hundred years of Volta's invention more progress was made than in the two thousand four hundred years between the tentative experiences of Thales and the publication of Volta's letter addressed to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society' (PMM).
The chemical properties immediately inspired the electrolyzing experiments and led to William Nicholson's decomposition of water and Davy's discovery of the elements sodium and potassium. It inspired studies of the physical properties of the electric current which led to the laws of Ohm, Oersted and Faraday, and the dawn of electrotechnology. 'With this new force, water was decomposed, metal was electro-deposited, the electro-magnet was created and the electrical age was begun' (Dibner).
HERSCHEL papers: - FIRST APPEARANCES of Herschel's three important papers containing his investigations of the rays of the solar spectrum to determine which were responsible for heat production. Through these experiments he discovered the infra-red rays. Amongst the other articles in this complete volume 90 are Thomas Young's Outlines of Experiments and Inquiries respecting Sound and Light, William Morgan's Real Probabilities of Life, which made a fundamental contribution to actuarial science.
