Edwards concluded ".that vital processes depend on external physical and chemical forces but are not entirely controlled by them. His book is a pioneer work in animal ecology." (G-M 598.1 & 1991, citing the first ed., Paris, 1824 and noting the 1832 English translation). The appendix to the original work on electricity and life is by Prevost and Dumas.
