Second enlarged edition by Rouland.
A pupil of Nollet and a teacher of Fourcroy, Sigaud de la Fond was a professor of experimental physics who left his mark on his era. We owe him the substitution of glass for resin as an insulator in electrical machines, and numerous experiments on air and hydrogen.
