Description

Gore writes: 'Having found a thermo-electric pile (see ‘Birmingham Phil. Soc. Proc.,’ vol. 4, p. 130) convenient in detecting and measuring small changes of voltaic potential ('Roy. Soc. Proc.,’ May 3rd, 1888), I have taken advantage of that circumstance to measure by the method of balance the above phenomenon in various liquids.'
