First edition.
Reynier makes "fire" in this work, an essential constituent of the material which ensures its cohesion.
His theory announces, following Lavoisier, the replacement of the phlogiston theory by the caloric theory.
Our modern gaze would find that by replacing “fire” with “energy”, Reynier demonstrates many interesting intuitions here. As such it is often cited by Bachelard in his “Psychoanalysis of Fire”.

First edition on large paper.

This is Volta's latest memoir and his most important contribution to the famous controversy that occurred between the Galvanic and Voltaic theories of electricity. This memoir was submitted under the name of one of the students of Volta in 1805 during a competition organized by the "Società Italiana delle Scienze"; it was then "to explain with clarity and dignity, by offending anyone, the question of Galvanism, discussed by Giovanni Aldini (nephew of Galvani) and Alessandro Volta". No memory was rewarded at the end of this event. Nine years later, Pietro Configliachi, professor of physics and publisher of the "Giornale di fisica, chemica e storia naturale" pupil and then successor of Volta at the University of Pavia, was finally able to publish this work. The last 7 pages of this book present a detailed bibliography of Volta's works until 1813.
Beautiful rare and remarkable copy on large paper.
