Michael Faraday (1791–1867)

Faraday, Michael. An English physicist and chemist; born in Newington Butts, near London, Sept. 22, 1791; died in Hampton Court, Aug. 25, 1867. His achievements in the departments of chemistry and electrical induction and magnetism are of permanent importance; and his works, particularly ‘Experimental Researches in Electricity’ (1832–55); ‘Chemical Manipulations’ (1843); ‘Experimental Researches in Chemistry’ (1859); and ‘Lectures on the Chemical History of a Candle’ (1861) are repositories of valuable knowledge.
