Sur la théorie de Franklin : suivant lequel les phénomènes électriques sont expliqués par un seul fluide

By M. van Marum. Haarlem?: s.n., 1819.

An early supporter of Lavoisier, Marum did important work in chemistry (discovering carbon-monoxide) and developed a new electricity machine with shellac disks passing through a mercury bath. This volume of his is illustrated with text diagrams and an impressive long folding mezzotint plate dramatically depicting an electrical discharge.
