' 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.' Prof. Tait. They contain his discoveries of induced electricity (' Faradic current '), 1831 ; the electro- 

 tonic state of matter, '31 ; identity of electricity from different sources, '33 ; equivalents in electro-chemical decom- 

 position, '34 ; electrostatic induction, '38 ; hydro-electricity, '43 ; diamagnetism, "46 ; relation of gravity to electricity, 

 '51 ; atmospheric magnetism, '51, and many others.
