About this book
Michael Faraday, by J. H. Gladstone, Ph.D., F.R.S., is a third edition with portrait. The preface says that shortly after the death of Michael Faraday, Professor Auguste de la Rive and others of his friends gave to the world their impressions of his life, his character, and his work. A grand carriage with a footman is described as drawing up before the house where Faraday lived, when the servant left a note from Sir Humphry Davy.
A passage asks why electricity itself should be life, and says that, like heat, like chemical action, electricity is an implement of life, and nothing more. The text says it is far more damaging to the cause of religion when her ministers repeat the assumption of the infidel that those who study the truths of nature are particularly prone to disbelieve.
