In den Warenkorb(London, Richard and John E., Taylor, 1840). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1840 - Part I. Pp. 183-192, 4 textillustrations. Clean and fine. First printing of this importent investigation on the voltaic battery."In the late 1830s, when Gassiot began his investigations, the identity of static and…voltaic seemed likely. But if this were so, voltaic, like voltaic, electricity ought to produce sparks before the circuit was completed. In 1839 (in the paper offered) Gassiot showed that even with a battery of 1,024 Daniell cells bno sparks occurred. But if he used these cells either to charge a bank of nine Leyden jars in conjunction with a circuit interrupter and transformer, he could produce sparks before contact."(DSB V, p. 292).Ronalds Library Catalogue, p. 193.

First appearance of this importent paper in the development of early televison."Faradays discovery in 1838 of the negative dark space had revived intyerest in the glow discharge caused by conduction of electricity through gases at low pressure, but Gassiot's interest in this discharge was directly stimulated by W.R. Grove's almost incidental report in 1852 that the discharge was "striated by transverse non-luminous bands." In his initial investigations showed that if enough care were exercised to achieve a sufficiently low pressure, situations could be produced in the Torricellian vacuum. Next he demonstrated that both a static electric machine and a Ruhmkorff coil with a Grove cell produced a striated discharge. This once again confirmed the identity of these two electricities. He also noticed that a powerfull elexctromagnet divided the striations into what appeared to be two distinct columns. The paper in which Gassiot announced these discoveries (the first paper offered) was honoured as the Royal Society's Bakerian lecture for 1858."(DSB V, p. 292).(Shiers & Shiers "Early Televison. A Bibliography to 1940", No. 25 & 29).
