Michael Faraday was one of the most important scientists of the 19th century, helping to lay the foundations of the modern electricity industry. This third volume of his letters, covering the period 1841 to 1848, includes correspondence with scientists, artists, politicians and the military.

This volume of Faraday's correspondence with such luminaries as Brunel, Babbage and Schoenbein covers such diverse topics as terrestrial and atmospheric magnetism, the electrification of lighthouses, the theory of telegraphic retardation, and advice to the government on the war with Russia.

Volume 1 of this collection of the letters of Michael Faraday reflects his importance in the world of 19th-century science. They cover the years 1811 to 1831 and span his discoveries of electro-magnetic rotations and electro-magnetic induction as well as his other researches and teaching.

This second volume 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.

The sixth volume of Faraday's correspondence contains letters from the end of 1860 to his death in 1867. The dominant topic of the 1860s is Faraday's involvement with the lighthouse service relating to his advice to Trinity House and the Board of Trade on matters such as electric light and the controversial issue of fog signals.

Since the mid-1820s, a series of lectures has been delivered each year over the Christmas period in the world-famous Faraday Lecture Theatre at The Royal Institution of Great Britain by prominent scientists, addressed specifically to an audience of children. Initially made accessible in book form, the lectures have been nationally televised throughout the UK and distributed worldwide since the 1960s, making them accessible to an even larger au...
