1821-4.] THE ROYAL INSTITUTION. 311 



In 1820 an anniversary dinner was held on May 8 

 at Willis's Eooms. The following year Mr. Faraday 

 was given the use of two more rooms on the second 

 floor, and appointed Superintendent of the House and 

 Laboratory in the absence of Mr. Brande. 



In 1822 the treasurer had to advance 1,000. to pay 

 the bills, and in 1823 a loan of 4,000. without interest 

 was raised amongst the members. 



In 1824 Faraday first lectured at the Eoyal Institu- 

 tion, and was elected a Fellow of the Eoyal Society for 

 his discoveries made in the laboratory. 



From 1815 the life of Faraday and the history of 

 the Eoyal Institution became inseparable, and from 

 1824 it was kept alive by his unselfish devotion to its 

 welfare.
