In 1798 Humboldt came to Paris and worked with the Commission, which subsequently published a long report giving its views on the Galvani vs. Volta controversy on "Animal Electricity".Halle was Bonaparte's doctor, a Professor of Physical Medicine and Health in Paris and a pioneer in the role of hygiene in contagious disease, health at work and high-density living.
