Abstract
SPEAKING in this place on electric light, I can neither forget nor forbear to mention, as inseparably associated with the subject and with the Royal Institution, the familiar, illustrious, names of Davy and Faraday. It was in connection with this institution that, eighty years ago, the first electric light experiments were made by Davy, and it was also in connection with this Institution that, forty years later, the foundations of the methods, by means of which electric lighting has been made useful, were strongly laid by Faraday.
