Michael Faraday (1791 1867) made foundational contributions in the
fields of physics and chemistry, notably in relation to
electricity. One of the greatest scientists of his day, Faraday
held the position of Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal
Institution of Great Britain for over thirty years. Not long after
his death, his friend Henry Bence Jones attempted 'to join together
his words, and to form them into a picture of his life which may be
almost looked upon as an autobiography'. Jones' compilation of
Faraday's manuscripts, letters, notebooks, and other writings
resulted in this Life and Letters (1870) which remains an important
resource for learning more about one of the most influential
scientific experimentalists of the nineteenth century. Volume 1
(1791 1830) covers Faraday's earliest years as an errand boy and
bookbinder's apprentice, his arrival at the Royal Institution as an
assistant and his early publications on electricity.
