Description
Michael Faraday was one of the most important scientists of the 19th century, helping to lay the foundations of the modern electricity industry. This second volume of his correspondence covers the 1830s, a period when Faraday pursued the consequences of his discovery of electromagnetic induction and revised the theories of electrochemistry and the nature of electricity. His correspondents include scientists, artists, politicians and military men.
