Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Twelve Elementary Lectures on Galvanism
In fact, I have endeavoured throughout the whole work, to simplify the principles of Galvanism so as to be comprehensible to every capacity; and to place before the student, a series of facts, which, both for number and order of arrangement, has no precedent in the English language.
For the information which I possess respecting the application of Galvanism to Engineering, I am especially indebted to General Pasley; by whose permission I have had an opportunity of being present at some of his experiments in the river Medway and by whose instructions I have been favoured with every facility for becoming acquainted with the ar rangement of the apparatus, and every part of the process; and I with pleasure avail myself of this opportunity of acknowledging these, and many other marks of kindness with which I have been honoured by that highly distinguished scientific officer.
