1 manuscrit autographe signé 10 pp. In-4 [1827] Bon Long et très bel article de l'astronome et physicien Jean-Baptiste Biot sur Alessandro Volta, réalisé pour la Biographie universelle de Michaud ; il parut en 1827 dans le tome 49, pp. 459 à 464, accompagné d'un portrait gravé. Très nombreuses ratures et corrections. "[] Notre s…entiment du génie de Volta est si fort et si profond que nous croyons devoir à peine parler de quelques instruments particuliers qu'il a imaginés, et dont l'usage est devenu général dans tous les cabinets de physique et les laboratoires de chimie []. Nous nous hâtons de passer à la grande découverte du développement de l'électricité par le contact mutuel des corps, principe absolument nouveau et imprévu que Volta reconnut avec une sagacité extrême, qu'il mit dans un jour complet par une série d'expériences aussi habilement que sagement conduites, et dont il déduisit une application si heureuse et si extraordinaire qu'elle est encore, s'il est possible, une plus grande découverte que le principe même dont elle dérivait. C'est là le vrai, le grand titre de Volta à l'immortalité []". Signé "B.t". Physicien. Membre de l'Académie des Sciences (1803) et membre de l'Académie française (1856).
