VOLTA, Alexander. "Ueber die sogennie galvanische Electricitat." Pp 421-449, in the Annalen der Physik, series I, volume 10, 1802 (3). The first German appearance describing the actions between the metal plates in Volta's piles. Most of the fourth section of the volume (which we offer in its entirely of 512pp) is dedicated to Volta, as follows:
Also includes: "Bericht an die mathematisch-physikalische Klasse der fransoesischen NAtional-Instituts ueber Volta's galvanische Versuche".
