Faraday was still poor at twenty-one. Once, a friend gave him a free ticket
ho a public lecture and demonstration by the renowned chemist Humphry Davy
at London's Royal Institution. Davy's work on chemicals and electrical lighting
was the subject of conversation among the scientists of that age. Seventy years later.
across the Atlantic Ocean in the USA, the same work enabled Thomas Edison
to produce the first consistent light bulb.
That day in 1812 Faraday was spellbound by Davy's lecture. He
kept taking notes about the 'mysterious force of electric fluid'.
so engrossed in the lecture that he forgot to applaud with the rest of
the crowd. When he went back, his notes were so comprehensive that
he bound them into a book, meaning to gift it to Davy some day. Faraday
decided that day that he didn't just want to sell books, he wanted to be a
good enough to write his own books. Davy became his role
model. But there was a problem. He did not have the social status, money or
the education to pursue science. Faraday thought it would be wonderful
if Davy became his mentor, but Davy did not agree initially. Faraday was
not dejected; he just kept trying.
