First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "Arago . made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic "currents" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory."DSB.Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnelwhose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie "A Source Book in Physics" p. 443 ff. unknown

Donné's paper: pp. 366-368. First printing of the paper announcing the discovery of blood-platelets THE THIRD CORPUSCLES OF THE BLOOD. Platelets or thrombocytes or yellow blood cells are very small irregularly shaped clear cell fragments i.e. cells that do not have a nucleus containing DNA 2-3 µm in diameter which derive from fragmentation of precursor megakaryocytes. The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days. Platelets are a natural source of growth factors. They circulate in the blood of mammals and are involved in hemostasis leading to the formation of blood clots. Platelets release thread-like fibers to form these clots.Garrison & Morton 864. unknown

First apperance of the papers in which Lecoc de Boisbaudran described how he separated Holmium into two kinds of earths and naming them."He accomplished this by fractional prepicitation first with ammonium hydroxide and then with a saturated solution of potassium sulfate and found that the constituents of pure holmium solutions precipitate in the folloeing order: terbium dysprosium holmium and erbium. Lecog de Boisbaudran never had an abundant supply of raw materials for his remarkable researches on the rare earths and he once confided to professor Urbain that most of his fractionations had been carried on on the marble slab of his fireplace."Weeks "Discovery of the Eelements".Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1886 C. unknown

Matteucci's paper: pp. 540-41. First appearance of a main paper in the history of electro-physiology."The discovery by Volta of means for producing galvanic currents led to the construction of a galvanometer for measuring currents and later to its refinement. In 1841 Matteucci presented. a paper which showed that a galvanometer indicates a curring flowing whenh it is connected from the surface of a muscle to a wound in the muscle a current that was later called the "current of injury" and also the "current of rest" since it flowed without observable muscular contraction. Johannes Müller showed tis paper to his brilliant pupil du Bois-reymond. Du Bois interest was caught at once. He published his first paper on "thierische Electricität" in 1843 and his two-volumes on the subject - soon to become the classic - in 1848-49."Boring "History of Experimental Psychology" p. 40. unknown
