Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Experimental Method, Medical Science: Second Course of the Cartwright Lectures of the Alumni Association, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, Delivered January 24, January 31, and February 7, 1882
The results obtained by these two investigators were distinct from each other, but of almost equal importance. Galvani discovered the electric action on nerves and mus cles which bears his name. Volta gave to science a new apparatus, by which current electricity is transmitted in a continuous circuit. Each investigator was partially at fault in the theoretical explanation of his own discovery. But the value of the discovery has remained, and has even largelyincreased in the course of a century, notwithstand ing the difference in its interpretation. It also appears, from the history of the circumstances, that the second of these discoveries was a consequence of the first and nothing can show more clearly the unbroken connection of events in the progress of science, which may some times extend to the most unexpected ramifications. It is plain. That we should not be to-day in possession of the electric light, were it not for Volta's discovery of current electricity; and Volta produced his electric pile in trying to investigate the contraction of Galvani's frogs.
