 abstract = {The theory of animal electricity and the theory of contact electricity inevitably divided the scientific community. Although the closing years of the century were pregnant with momentous political processes and events, the vogue for electricity persisted and the connections between laboratories, learned societies, andsalonsremained intact. As du Bois-Reymond aptly put it:The storm aroused by the publication of theCommentariusamong physicists, physiologists, and physicians can be compared only to the storm that at the same time [1791] arose on the political horizon of Europe. It can be said wherever there were frogs, and wherever two dissimilar metals},
