 Schonbein to Berzelius 



BALE, \th April 1844. 



MY DEAR BARON, 



You were formerly interested in my experi- 

 ments on the nature of the electrical odour, and so I 

 natter myself that the results of my latest work l on 

 this subject will not be wholly indifferent to you, more 

 especially as they seemed to you to have opened a 

 new field for chemical investigation. You will re- 

 member, no doubt, that I endeavoured to prove the 



1 Lectures delivered at meetings of the Association for the 

 Advancement of Science at Bale on the 3rd and 17th of April 

 and the 15th of May 1844 : Easier Berichte, vol. vi. (1844) p. 16. 

 Bibl. Univ., vol. 1. (1844) p. 395 ; collected in " tjber die 

 Erzeugung des Ozons auf chemiscliem Wege," Basel, 1844. Pre- 

 face dated 13th May 1844.
