“Praeterea fortior est a parte hydrodendri, si conjunxeris, et a parte oxydendri si polos disjunxeris.”

Moreover it is stronger on the part of the cathode, if you have joined the poles, and on the part of the anode if you have separated them.

“Si decem ad summum paria construuntur, et ab oxydendro in aquam, in qua linguae extremitas demersa est, ductio galvanica instituitur, hydrodendro autem digitus madefactus apponitur, sapor sentitur acidulus; inverso⟳ autem ordine sapor acris et asper, a multis alcalinus vocatus.”

If ten pairs are constructed at the top, and a galvanic current is established from the anode into water in which the tip of the tongue is immersed, and a wet finger is applied to the cathode, a sourish taste is tasted; but in inverse order a taste acrid and bitter, by many called alkaline.
