Unpublished paper, 'Remarks on certain statements of Mr [Michael] Faraday contained in the fourth and fifth series of his "Experimental Results in Electricity"' by John Davy

Description
Davy complains that Faraday has, in the paper referred to, made certain statements with respect to the opinions of Sir Humphry Davy relative to the conducting powers of dry nitre, and caustic potash and soda, when in fusion by heat, and also with regard to other matters connected with voltaic electricity, which are not correct; and vindicates Sir Humphry Davy from the charge of want of perspicuity in the statement of his views of these subjects.
Subject: Physics / Electricity
Received 26 December 1834.
Written by Davy in Malta.
