[Also referred to as: Vorläufiger Bericht über die Fortpflanzung Geschwindigkeit der Nervenreizung.] Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) was a polymath of dazzling intellectual range and energy. Renowned for his co-discovery of the second law of thermodynamics and his invention of the ophthalmoscope, Helmholtz also made many other contributions to physiology, physical theory, philosophy of science and mathematics, and aesthetic thought. During the late nineteenth century, Helmholtz was revered as a scientist-sage--much like Albert Einstein in this century. Extract from Arch. Anat. Phys. u. wissens. Med (1850). Bound with: 1) Messungen uber den zeitlichen Verlauf det Zuchung animalischer Muskeln und die Fortpflanzungsgeschwindigkeit der Reizung in den Nerven.
