SiGNOR Carlo Matteucci, of Pisa, lately addressed a pamphlet* to my friend Dr. Beuce Jones, reproaching him for having edited an English translationf of Dr. John Mtiller's (of Freiburg) Abstract of my Researches in Animal Electricity.| Copies of this pamphlet were sent to many scientific men of England and Germany, and, probably, of France. As the statements contained in the Abstract, of which Signor Matteucci complains, are all taken from my German work,§ I naturally feel bound to answer for them. It would be of no use to do so in German, for in Germany my original work can be procured by every one ; and in it such proofs are given in support of these statements (without any exception), as do not admit of the slightest doubt regarding their accuracy.
