Abstract
THERE can be no doubt that a life of Faraday suitable for the general public was much needed. Dr. Bence Jones's work, though full of interest to scientific men, and to those who knew Faraday personally, was too voluminous and too lacking in cohesion to be very widely read. Dr. Tyndall's brilliant sketch fascinated the reader with the scientific aspect of the life it recorded, but left one longing to know “the inner supplement to that noble ouiivard life” of Faraday. Dr. Gladstone's memoir very largely meets the wants we express.
Michael Faraday.
By J. H. Gladstone, &c. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1872.)
