This was really one of the very finest patent cases which ever brought grist to the scientific Bar. The trial was of the 

 greatest importance in connexion with the patent rights for the manufacture of cordite, which has ever since been the 

 standard smokeless powder used throughout the British Army and Navy, and which it was claimed was merely a Govern- 

 ment plagiary from Mr. Alfred Nobel's ballistite. The chief experts for plaintiffs were Prof. W. Odling, f.r.s., Alfred Nobel, 

 and [Sir] H. B. Roscoe, f.r.s., and for defendant (in reality the Crown) [Sir] James Dewar, f.r.s., Sir Andrew Ncble, 

 Prof. Georg lounge, [Sir] Edward Frankland, [SirJ William Crookes, and Oscar Guttman. Lord Romer found for the 

 Crown, and the judgment was upheld by the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords.

•The author holds that the law of attraction according to the inverse square of the distance will suttlce for the ex- 



^. planation of the phenomena of molecular action, as well as for the phenomena of astronomy. He treats of adhesion, 



cohesion, and capillary attraction.'— Pro/. J, Todhunter, F.R S. 



1*2703 Nuovi Trattati sopra il Calorico, I'Elettricita, ed il Magnetism© ; with 8 folding 



copperplates, 8vo. sewn (RAREi, £1. Is ibidem, 1822 



A very interesting work, full of suggestions in electricity and magnetism, a subject which fills pp. 51-397 of the book. 



^' It was his first work on electricity and magnetism, and unknown to PoggenrlorfT, who mentions the Qvestioni sul Magne- 



f tismo, 1824, as his first publication. The illustration of the magnet already gives the lines of force— many years before 



Faraday. 



The author was the discoverer of Nobili's Rings, the coloured transparent films of metal deposited by electro-chemical 

 action. He also invented the thermo-multiplier, discovered the present form of the galvanometer by combining Schweigger'a 

 multiplier with Ampere's astatic needle, and was the first to prove that fluids in c -ntact show an electro-motive action.
