Excerpt from The Electron Theory: A Popular Introduction to the New Theory of Electricity and Magnetism

In 1811 - nearly a hundred years ago - Avogadro promulgated the important law which bears his name, and which gives expression to the fact that all the more perfect gases, when reduced to the same pressure and temperature, will contain within a given volume the same number of gaseous molecules. The fact was established: but the reason why it is so was not then understood, nor till long afterwards, when in the forties and fifties of the last century some of the activities that go on within gases became gradually known. Until these later dates it was erroneously supposed, even by careful students of nature, that natural objects which to our senses appear at rest - such as stones, coins, books, air which has been left for a long time undisturbed within a room - are in reality devoid of any internal motion.
