 of the one before; while it would appear from the arrangement of Dr. 

 Faraday's experiments, that the results detailed in his first series, and 

 those in the fourteenth, were principally produced by the second kind 

 of induction. Although I may be too sanguine in reference to the 

 results of this discovery, yet I cannot refrain from adding that it ap- 

 pears to lead to a separation of the electrical induction of a galvanic 

 current from the magnetical, and that it is a step of some importance 

 towards a more precise knowledge of the phenomena of magneto-elec- 

 tricity."
