Biot's report is not an off-print of an article published before, but it was reprinted five years later in "Encyclopedie methodique chim. et metal." (1808, Vol. 5, pp. 568-580). Biot also published his results more briefly in "Bibliotheque Britannique" (1803), "Philisophical Magazine" (1803) and "Annalen der Physik und Chemie" (1804).

If someone needs more detailed information on these publications, just send me an email.
