Excerpt from Elements of Electro-Chemistry

A hundred years have passed since the discovery of the voltaic battery, that simple apparatus which has been the starting-point of all those instruments wherein galvanic currents are obtained by combining conductors of the first and second class. But although voltaic batteries have been used for so long a time it was not until quite recently that the theory of their action was made clear; for the theories that had been advanced, the contact theory and the chemical theory, did not suffice to give a satisfactory explanation of the production of the galvanic current.

Excerpt from Elements of Electro-Chemistry: Treated Experimentally

The researches in physical chemistry which have been prosecuted with great eagerness during the last two decades have led to results whereby many of the problems of exact science which had remained unsolved have been answered. For instance, a deeper insight has been obtained into the nature of solutions, by the work of van't Hoff, who has shown that the law of Avogadro, which had been applied only to gases, holds good also for substances in solution. This result has been of especial importance to electro-chemistry, although at first sight it appears to have no connection with that subject It may be affirmed to-day that the conduction of the galvanic current in electrolytes, as well as the origin of the current in galvanic cells, matters which had been discussed for a century, have been explained.
