Zustand: Good. 8vo (217×145 mm). 72 pp. Contemporary pink wrappers, with the author's presentation inscription to Marquis Luigi Rangoni on the front wrapper. Some pale browning, otherwise a good, genuine copy, preserved in a modern slipcase. Presentation copy of a participant's account of the Galvani-Volta controversy, culminating in a verdict favourable to Volta. Carradori's purpose is not merely historical: as the subtitle announces, he seeks to adjudicate the dispute by comparing the experimental evidence advanced by the opposing parties. His conclusion expressly favours Volta against Giovanni Aldini, Galvani's nephew and defender. The publication has an earlier academic history. The Istoria originated as an anonymous submission to a competition on galvanism announced by the Società italiana delle scienze in 1805, in which Volta himself was one of three competitors. Its appearance in 1817 therefore represents the publication of an intervention conceived within the institutional debate, rather than simply a retrospective compilation. Carradori's authority rested partly on his own experimental involvement. In his Account of the Late Improvements in Galvanism (1803), Aldini records that Carradori had initially questioned animal electricity before becoming an energetic supporter of it. He also cites Carradori's experiments on electrically induced taste in two people connected within a circuit, referring to his fifth letter on animal electricity addressed to Felice Fontana. The later judgement in favour of Volta is thus especially revealing when read against Carradori's earlier position: the book preserves the assessment of an investigator who had reconsidered the competing explanations, not the unchanging allegiance of a partisan. The presentation to Marquis Luigi Rangoni (1775-1844) provides a particularly appropriate scientific and institutional association. A mathematician trained by Giambattista Venturi and minister of Public Economy and Education in Modena, Rangoni worked from 1816 to secure financial support for the Società italiana delle scienze following its post-Napoleonic difficulties. He became an honorary member in 1817 and its president in 1822. Carradori, whose membership of the Society is prominently stated on the title-page, had himself been elected in 1816. The inscription consequently links the author's scientific intervention with a recipient actively supporting the institution in which its earlier version had been submitted.

1 S. 4to. Beiliegend gest. Portrait (mittig quer gefaltet). "Lieber Georg, Ich habe Herrn Graff erst mit der letzten Post einen langen und ausführlichen Brief geschrieben, und habe dir also keine neuen Aufträge mitzugeben. Wir haben ein Mädchen aus Sagard erhalten, welches freilich noch sehr unerfahren zu seyn scheint. Unsere kleine Emma ist eben jetzt sehr krank, und schon besorge ich, neben ihren schlafenden Geschwistern ihr ein Bette bereiten zu müssen. Zieh nun hin in Frieden, lieber Georg, und Gott der Überallgegenwärtige sey mit dir! Wandle vor seinen Dingen, versäume nicht das Gebet, hüte dich vor Versuchung, befleissige dich der Treue, des Fleißes, der Verschwiegenheit, und Bescheidenheit gegen jedermann, begieb [?] dich in die Liebe deiner Frau, und grüsse deinen Bruder Christoph tausendmal. Dein bereitwilliger Kosegarten". Von anderer Hand mit Bleistift bezeichnet und datiert "1794". - Der Idylliker Kosegarten, Mitarbeiter an Schillers "Horen" und Musenalmanachen, bot in seinen "ländlichen Dichtungen" "Jucunde" (1803) und "Die Inselfahrt" (1805) gefühlsreligiöse Landschaftsschilderungen und ein breit ausgeführtes heimatliches Lokalkolorit von Wittow und Hiddensee (vgl. NDB XII, 612); der Orientalist Gottfried Kosegarten ist sein Sohn.…
