Galvani, and Commonly Called Animal Electricity" by Richard Fowler is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. The book focuses on the exploration of the phenomenon of animal electricity, inspired by the discoveries of Luigi Galvani, particularly the effects of electricity on living tissues. It discusses various experiments and observations that seek to clarify the nature and cause of these electrifying effects in living animals, examining the responses of muscles and nerves to stimuli. The opening of the text introduces the author’s motivation to investigate the relationship between the newly observed "animal electricity" and established laws of nature. Fowler details his initial experiments, which revolve around how the application of different metals can produce contractions in the muscles of frogs, a phenomenon first noted by Galvani. He meticulously records the conditions under which these contractions can be induced, emphasizing the necessity of specific metallic contact to elicit a response in living tissue. This scientific exploration sets the groundwork for a deeper discussion of the physiological implications of these experiments, engaging readers interested in the intersection of physiology and the emerging field of electrical science.
