Table of Contents

'The progress of genius'
Humphry Davy
A small explosion in Tunbridge Wells
'The glorious opportunity'
Substance X
A point of light
Mr Dance's kindness claims my gratitude
We have subdued this monster
The chief of all the band
A man of nature's own forming
There they go! There they go!
Use the right word, my Dear
fellow of the Royal Society
We light up the house
Steadiness and placidity
Facts are such stubborn things
Crispations
And that one word were lightning...
Connexions
The parable of the rainbow
Michael Faraday and the bride of science
Still, it may be true...
A metallic clatter which effaced the soft wave-wanderings
I be utterly unworthy...
The more I look the less I know
The body of knowledge is, after all, but one...
