Footnotes to Chapter 6

(1) I copy these words from the printed abstract of a Friday
evening lecture, given by myself, because they remind me of
Faraday's voice, responding to the utterance by an emphatic
'hear! hear!'—Proceedings of the Royal Institution, vol.
ii. p. 132.

(2) In 1838 he expresses himself thus:—'The word current is
so expressive in common language that when applied in the
consideration of electrical phenomena, we can hardly divest
it sufficiently of its meaning, or prevent our minds from
being prejudiced by it.'—Exp. Resear., vol. i. p. 515. ($
1617.)

(3) This conclusion needs qualification. Faraday overlooked
the part played by ozone.
