Professor of Chemistry inthe Medical Department of the University of Pennsyl-vania, and Member of several Learned Societies. (With ail Engraving.) X HAVE for some time been of opinion that the principleextricated by the Voltaic pile is a compound of caloric andelectricity, both being original and collateral products ofGalvanic action.

It is well known that heat is liberated by the Voltaic appa-ratus, in a manner and degree which has not been imitated bymeans of mechanical electricity ; and that the latter, while itstrikes at a greater distance, and pervades conductors withmuch greater speed, can with difficulty be made to effect thesl
