København, H.K.M. & Univ. Bogtrykkerie, 1730. 4to. (16) pp. Originaludgaven af sabbatforordningen fra 1730, hvor der nærmest indførtes kirkegangstvang. Forordningen ophævedes kort efter Christian VIs regeringstiltræden, men blev så at sige genindført med Helligdagsforordningen i 1735. ”Kirkens og kongens fælles missionsopgave gjaldt ikke kun i den kendte verdens fjerneste hjørner. Den gjaldt også i de nære omgivelser i kongerigets by- og landsogne. Forkyndelsen skulle nå ud til alle undersåtter, og et af midlerne var Frederik IVs sabbatsforordning af 21. april 1730. Allerede den 19. januar 1731 blev forordningen trukket tilbage, fordi den nytiltrådte Christian VI ikke syntes, loven havde levet op til sit formål; men godt fire år senere – den 12. marts 1735 – blev en næsten enslydende forordning imidlertid atter indført. Eneste forskel var, at straffene var mildere, og det kan måske hænge sammen med, at der forud for 1730-forordningens udstedelse var blevet talt så varmt for en meget stram og streng håndhævelse af forordningen, at den i praksis havde været umulig at gennemføre.”

First appearance of this paper in which Helmholtz for the first time measures and gives the mathematical formula for the duration of induced electrical currents and thus distinguished with mathematical accuracy from those due to nerve-action."In (the offered paper) he begins by stating a mathematical law, which he had verified by a long and difficult series of experiments. By means of this law F. neumann was enabled to solve the problem he had previously laid aside, as to the distribution of current in a copper disk rotating below the two poles of a magnet......After Helmholtz had extended this exponiential law mathematically to divided circuits, he tested it experimentally by means of a new type of galvanic contact-key, which madeit possible to vary the interval between the opening and closing of any current, as required."(Koenigsberger "Hermann von helmholtz", pp. 79-80).
