' This is one of Faraday's most pregnant and beautiful discoveries. He always thought that more lay concealed in it 

 than was admitted by the scientific men of his time, and this thought is even now in process of verification.'— D. N. B. 

 It also contains the discovery of diamagnetism, and (on p. 62) an important suggestion on the magnetic nature of light.

This volume contains all the author's papers on electricity published in the Philosophical Transactions of 1831-8. 



' The great work of his life. Fully to understand all the discoveries contained in that extraordinary series of papers 

 would need a knowledge of all that has been discovered during that time as to electricity, magnetism, electro-magnetism, 

 and diamagnetism . . . Faraday's work is not only of extreme importance in itself, but it has been of the utmost 

 consequence to science by leading Clerk-Maxwell to his wonderful investigations of the dynamics of the electro-magnetic 

 field and the electro-magnetic theory of light.*— Pro/. Tait. 



"7782 . On the Manufacture of Glass for Optical Purposes (Bakerian Lecture, 1829), W^A

• Robert Brown, Bsqre. etc. etc. with the author's respects.' — Inscr. on title. 



• This most laborious investigation became of the utmost importance in Faraday's diamagnetic a nd magneto-optical 

 researches.'— Dr. Bence Jones. 



^783 On the Mutual Action of Sulphuric Acid and Naphthaline, and on a New Acid 



produced, 4to. (pp. 23), sewn, with inscr. to Peter Barlow, F.B.S., Gs 1826

• In this paper was announced the discovery of benzol, which has turned to such profitable commercial account as the 

 basis of our splendid [! !] aniline dyes.'— Pro/. Tyndall, to whom the newest raw aniline horror probably possessed the 

 charm of the dying sunset sky.
