Switzerland once again protests the transfer of Nice and Savoy from Piedmont-Sardinia to France

In a letter to the British prime minister, the Swiss Government again protested the transfer of Savoy from Piedmont-Sardinia to France without consultation with other nations. Switzerland. which had long term commercial and trade ties in the area, wondered how the planned plebiscite in those areas could overturn long-held agreements between the powers.  Eventual plebiscite results in Nice and Savoy were an overwhelming confirmation of the transfer to French control.  (By John Osborne)

King Victor-Emmanuel of Piedmont-Sardinia explains the transfer of Nice and Savoy to France

King Victor-Emmanuel of Piedmont-Sardinia, in a proclamation, explained to the people of Savoy and Nice why they were being transferred to French sovereignty.  He cited the territorial changes Italy had undergone with victory over Austria, and noted the contributions that France had made in that war.  He went on to promise a plebiscite to determine their wishes.  The vote took place later in April and confirmed the transfer.

In Paris, French inventor Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville makes the first known recording of a human voice

French inventor Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville recorded himself singing the French folk song "Au Claire De La Lune" into his "phonautograph."  This was the earliest sound recording of music or the human voice, predating Thomas Edison's successful playback of sound by twenty-eight years.  Scott died largely unrecognized and his pioneer recording was not discovered until 2008 when modern scientific methods were used to effect a playback.  (By John Osborne)
