Alfred Smee Quotes
To what part of electrical science are we not indebted to Faraday? He has increased our knowledge of the hidden and unknown to such an extent, that all subsequent writers are compelled so frequently to mention his name and quote his papers, that the very repetition becomes monotonous. How humiliating it may be to acknowledge so great a share of successful investigation to one man.
