duction, and the explanation it affords of Arago's Phenomena of Magne- 

 tism exhibited by moving Metals ; (4) Evolution of Electricity, naturally 

 and artificially, by the inductive action of the Earth's Magnetism ; (5) 

 on the Crispation of Fluids lying on vibrating Surfaces ; and on Morden's 

 Machinery for manufacturing Bramah's locks. 



He was made Hon. Member of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and 

 of Chemical and Physical Society, Paris ; Fellow of the American Aca- 

 demy of Arts and Sciences, Boston ; Member of the Royal Society of 

 Science, Copenhagen ; D.C.L. of Oxford University ; and he received the 

 Copley medal. 



He collected the different papers, notes, notices, &c. published in 

 octavo up to this year, and he added this preface to the volume : — " Papers 

 of mine published in octavo in the Quarterly Journal of Science and else- 

 where, since the time that Sir H. Davy encouraged me to write the 'Analysis 

 of Caustic Lime.' Some I think (at this date) are good, others moderate, 

 and some bad ; but I have put all into the volume, because of the 

 utility they have been to me, and none more than the bad in pointing out 

 to me in future, or rather after times, the faults it became me to watch 

 and avoid. As I never looked over one of my papers a year after it was 

 written without believing, both in philosophy and manner, it would have 

 been much better done, I still hope this collection may be of great use 

 to me." 



In December, the Royal Institution being in trouble, a committee re- 

 ported on all the salaries. " The Committee are certainly of opinion that no 

 reduction can be made in Mr. Faraday's salary, £ 100 per annum, house, 

 coals, and candles, and beg to express their regret that the circumstances 

 of the Institution are not such as to justify their proposing such an increase 

 of it as the variety of duties which Mr. Faraday has to perform, and the 

 zeal and ability with which he performs them, appear to merit."

The third series of Experimental Researches contained the Identity of 

 Electricities derived from different sources, and the relation by measure of 

 common and voltaic electricity. The fourth series consisted of a new law 

 of Electric Conduction, and on Conducting-power generally. The fifth 

 series was on Electro-chemical Decomposition, new conditions of Electro- 

 chemical Decomposition, influence of Water in Electro-chemical Decom- 

 position, and Theory of Electro-chemical Decomposition. The sixth series 

 was on the Power of Metals and other Solids to induce the combination of 

 gaseous bodies. 



He sent a short note to the editors of the Philosophical Magazine on 

 a means of preparing the Organs of Respiration so as considerably to 

 extend the time of holding the breath, with remarks on its application 

 in cases in which it is required to enter an irrespirable atmosphere, and 

 on the precautions necessary to be observed in such cases.
