Abstract
THE transformation of energy from one form to another was realised in a general way before the middle of the nineteenth century, although it was not until the researches of Joule during the years 1838–1848 and the later work of Kelvin and of Helmholtz that the principle of the conservation of energy became an established doctrine of physical science. It is of interest, therefore, to find the principle of energy applied to the study of the voltaic cell by Peter Mark Roget (1779–1869) so early as 1829. This was before the experiments of Faraday on electrolysis, and nearly ten years before the work of Joule on the energetics of a voltaic cell.
