Preface. Chapter 1. Parentage: introduction to the royal institution: earliest experiments: first royal society paper: marriage. Chapter 2. Early researches: magnetic rotations: liquefaction of gases: heavy glass: Charles Anderson: contributions to physics. Chapter 3. Discovery of Magneto-electricity: Explanation of Argo's magnetism of rotation: Terrestrial magneto-electric induction: The extra current. Chapter 4. Points of Character. Chapter 5. Identity of electricities; first researches on electro-chemistry. Chapter 6. Laws of electro-chemical decomposition. Chapter 7. Origin of power in the voltaic pile. Chapter 8. Researches on frictional electricity: induction: conduction: specific inductive capacity: theory of contiguous particles. Chapter 9. Rest needed--visit to Switzerland. Chapter 10. Magnetization of light. Chapter 11. Discovery of diamagnetism--researches on magne-crystallic action. Chapter 12. Magnetism of flame and gases--atmospheric magnetism. Chapter 13. Speculations: nature of matter: lines of force. Chapter 14. Unity and convertibility of natural forces: theory of the electric current. Chapter 15. Summary. Chapter 16. Illustrations of Character. Preface to the fifth edition. Daily and weekly, from all parts of the world, I receive publications bearing upon the practical applications of electricity. This great movement, the ultimate outcome of which is not to be foreseen, had its origin in the discoveries made by Michael Faraday, sixty-two years ago. From these discoveries have sprung applications of the telephone order, together with various forms of the electr
