Duhem's Electric Theories of J. Clerk Maxwell p. 2 [3] and Maxwell's Treatise §851 (p. 429) reference Gauss as a precursor to Weber's force law:
C. F. Gauss, Werke , Bd. V, p. 616 [PDF p. 604].


Wipf 2011 p. 49: "La forme complète de ce principe[des vitesses virtuelles]est donnée par Gauss en 1829 : GAUSS Carl Friedrich [1829], p. 27, en note. "

p. 79f. is the Latin original of his "CGS paper" (on the gauss unit): "The Intensity of the Earth's Magnetic Force Reduced to Absolute Measurement" ("Intensitas vis magneticæ terrestris ad mensuram absolutam revocata ")


Gauss's electrodynamics law derives from Ampère's. From Assis 1994:
