Publisher's Synopsis
Lettere Del Signor Don Alessandro Volta, Patrizio Comasco, E Decuriore, Regio Professore Di Fisica ... Sull'aria Infiammabile Nativa Delle Paludi... presents a collection of letters by Alessandro Volta, the renowned physicist and inventor of the voltaic pile. Written in Italian, these letters delve into Volta's pioneering research on 'combustible air' (aria infiammabile), now known as methane, derived from the marshes of Lombardy.
This historical work provides valuable insight into the early scientific investigations of gases and the development of pneumatic chemistry in the late 18th century. Volta's meticulous observations and experimental approach are evident throughout the correspondence, offering a fascinating glimpse into the scientific thought processes of one of history's most influential scientists. The letters are essential reading for anyone interested in the history of science, physics, and the development of early chemical understanding.
