In former papers on the “Theory of Voltaic Action,” I have adduced evidence in support of the view that the difference of electric potential observed near the surface of two metals in contact is caused, or at all events mainly influenced, by the chemical activity of film condensed on their surfaces from the atmosphere (vapour or gas) in which the metals are immersed.
