that I made in Albany, which I have not mentioned, since my re- 

 moval to Princeton, I have made several thousands on electricity, 

 magnetism, and electro-magnetism, particularly the former, -which 

 have more or less hearing on practical applications of this branch of 

 science, brief minutes of which fill several hundred folio pages. Many 

 of these have not been published in detail. They have cost me years 

 of labor and much expense. 



The only reward I ever expected was the consciousness of advancing 

 science, the pleasure of discovering new truths, and the scientific 

 reputation to which these labors would entitle me.
