2 Bde. XVI + 350, XII + 330 S. Priv. HLd. der Zeit. EA. In franz. Sprache. Mit insgesamt 10 gefalteten Kupfertafeln. - R. fachmännisch restauriert unter Verwendung des Originals, Exlibris a. V., stockfleckig in den Anfangsbereichen, Bd. 1: letzte Seite m. Eckabriss (ohne Textverlust), leichte Gbrsp. - Aldini (1762 - 1834), wurde bekannt durch seine elektrischen Experimente an menschlichen Leichen, die er in ganz Europa vorführte. Ab 1798 war er Professor für Physik an der Universität Bologna. Seine wissenschaftliche Tätigkeit war geprägt von der Beschäftigung mit dem Galvanismus und seinen medizinischen Anwendungen, mit der Konstruktion und Beleuchtung von Leuchttürmen sowie mit Experimenten zum Schutz des Menschen vor dem Feuer. - ". It was an influential book on galvanism, that presented for the first time a series of experiments in which the principles of Volta and Galvani were used together. The fine series of plates illustrated the experiments which involved bodies and heads of animals and humans. For the first time a description appears here of the magnetization of steel needles through connection to a voltaic circuit." (Zitat) - Giovanni Aldini was a nephew of Luigi Galvani, whose treatise on muscular electricity he edited with notes in 1791. His scientific work was chiefly concerned with galvanism and its medical applications, with the construction and illumination of lighthouses, and with experiments for preserving human life and material objects from destruction by fire. …

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. Edition originale. 2 vol. in 8°, de 3ff. XVI-350pp. & 2ff. XII-330pp., ill. de 10 planches gravées se dépl., demi-veau brun XIXe, dos lisse à filets dorés, qq. mouillures claires sinon bon exemplaire à toutes marges Edition originale. G. Aldini est le neveu de L. Galvani, découvreur du galvanisme. Devenu le champion de la cause galvanique, il retrace ici l'ensemble de ses expériences souvent spectaculaires. Il décrit en particulier l'une des premières expériences d'électro-magnétisme exécutée par Joseph Mojon qui découvrit, dès 1804, l'une des propriétés fondamentales du courant électrique : l'aimantation des aiguilles d'acier. Il décrit les effets du courant électrique sur le système animal, sur des cadavres humains et des têtes de condamnés, teste la vitesse du fluide électrique à travers l'eau, les poissons électriques, la conductivité des flammes etc. Mottelay Electricity & magnetism p.304 "Aldini proved to be an infatigable investigator. An account of these experiments is given in his Essai théorique. antoher of Aldini's curious experiments was the production of powerful muscular contractions. In these experiments, the body became violently agitated and even raised itself as if about to walk, the arms alternately rose and fell. natural respiration was also artificially restablished" - DSB I p.107 "Aldini, the nephew of Galvani, became professor of physics at the University of Bologna in 1794 and earnestly investigated galvanism. He carried on his uncle's work, extended his experiments to the human body and published his best-known work Essai théorique et expérimental sur le galvanisme (1804)".- Honeyman I.n° 64 - Poggendorff I-27 ; Wheeler Gift n° 660 - Fultom et Cushing 27 - Dibner, Galvani-Volta, p.21. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. ALDINI, JEAN (1762-1834). Essai theorique et experimental sur le glavanisme. Paris: Founier Fils, An XII - 1804. FIRST EDITION. Two volumes. 8 vo. Original marbled wrappers with the original printed paper labels on spines. Uncut, the issue with SEPIA plates. (6), xvi, 350; (4), xii, 330 pp. Ten folding engraved plates printed in sepia. With half titles. Name cut from fly-leaf of vol. 1. Usual light wear and small losses to wrappers, but a very good set in its original state. The nephew of Luigi Galvani, Jean Aldini, was his uncle's champion in the controversy over Galvani's "animal electricity" and Volta's "galvanic current". Aldini's best known work was his 'Essai', which appeared in two volumes, as well as in a single quarto volume, both in 1804. Dedicated to Napoleon, Aldini reported on his experiments which established the existence of electrical forces within living tissue, on his attempt to determine the velocity of an electric current across the harbor of Calais, and on his "dramatic experiments (which) involved motion in the anatomical members of a just-executed murderer and induced muscular contraction in dissected parts of sheep, oxen, and chickens."
