Transcriber’s note: Four likely printer errors have been corrected; these are on pages 46, 115, 176 and 186, marked like this. The inconsistent hyphenation of “break-down”, “electro-motive” and “vibration-head” is as in the original. Some of the illustrations had to be moved up or down a few paragraphs from their position in the original; the hyperlinked page numbers in the List of Illustrations point to the original locations, but the hyperlinked figure numbers point to where the figures are now.

 PREFACE

I have in the present work put in a connected and a more complete formresults, some of which have been published in the following Papers:

  • ‘De la Généralité des Phénomènes Moléculaires produits par l’Electricité sur la matière Inorganique et sur lamatière Vivante.’ (Travaux du Congrès Internationalde Physique. Paris, 1900.)
  • ‘On the Similarity of Effect of Electrical Stimulus on Inorganicand Living Substances.’ (Report, BradfordMeeting British Association, 1900.—Electrician.)
  • ‘Response of Inorganic Matter to Stimulus.’ (FridayEvening Discourse, Royal Institution, May 1901.)
  • ‘On Electric Response of Inorganic Substances. PreliminaryNotice.’ (Royal Society, June 1901.)
  • ‘On Electric Response of Ordinary Plants under MechanicalStimulus.’ (Journal Linnean Society, 1902.)
  • ‘Sur la Réponse Electrique dans les Métaux, les TissusAnimaux et Végétaux.’ (Société de Physique, Paris,1902.)
  • ‘On the Electro-Motive Wave accompanying MechanicalDisturbance in Metals in contact with Electrolyte.’(Proceedings Royal Society, vol. 70.)
  • ‘On the Strain Theory of Vision and of Photographic Action.’(Journal Royal Photographic Society, vol. xxvi.)

 These investigations were commenced in India, and I take thisopportunity to express my grateful acknowledgments to the Managers ofthe Royal Institution, for the facilities offered me to complete them atthe Davy-Faraday Laboratory.
