Michael Faraday, FRS (22 September 1791 25 August 1867) was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of the time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current. While conducting these studies, Faraday established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept in physics, subsequently enlarged upon by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered elect...

From the primitive pine-torch to the paraffin candle, how wide an interval! between them how vast a contrast! The means adopted by man to illuminate his home at night, stamp at once his position in the scale of civilisation. The fluid bitumen of the far East, blazing in rude vessels of baked earth; the Etruscan lamp, exquisite in form, yet ill adapted to its office; the whale, seal, or bear fat, filling the hut of the Esquimaux or Lap with odour rather than light; the huge wax candle on t...

Contents: 1. The Forces of Matter and The Chemical History of a Candle, by Michael Faraday 2. On the Conservation of Force and Ice and Glaciers, by Hermann von Helmholtz 3. The Wave Theory of Light and The Tides, by Lord Kelvin 4. The Extent of the Universe, by Simon Newcomb 5. Geographical Evolution, by Sir Archibald Geikie

On the Various Forces of Nature and Their Relations to Each Other gathers Michael Faraday's celebrated juvenile lectures into a lucid meditation on the unity of physical phenomena. Moving from gravity, cohesion, chemical affinity, heat, magnetism, and electricity toward their interdependence, the book exemplifies Victorian scientific prose at its most pedagogically graceful: experimental, analogical, and animated by wonder. Its literary context is the nineteenth-century tradition of public...
