Sentences with GALVANI (5)

THE MODERN DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM GALVANI AND VOLTA The full importance of Young's studies of light might perhaps have gained earlier recognition had it not chanced that, at the time when they were made, the attention of the philosophic world was turned with the fixity and fascination of a hypnotic stare upon another field, which for a time brooked no rival.

The story is told that Galvani was led to his discovery while preparing frogs' legs to make a broth for his invalid wife.
