Faraday's immediate forefathers lived in a little place called Clapham Wood Hall, in Yorkshire. Here dwelt Robert Faraday and Elizabeth his wife, who had ten children, one of them, James Faraday, born in 1761, being father to the philosopher. A family tradition exists that the Faradays came originally from Ireland.
Not merely SUCH intellects either your Humes and Berkeleys and Hegels; but practical observers of facts, your Galileos, Daltons, Faradays, have found it impossible to treat the NAIFS sense-termini of common sense as ultimately real.
If I wanted to select a learned man for a special Government post British Museum, and so forth I dare say I should often be compelled to admit, as Government often admits, that the best man then and there obtainable is the German. But if I wanted to train Herbert Spencers and Faradays, I would certainly not send them to Bonn or to Berlin.
Our Darwins, our Lyalls, Herschels, Faradays all the immense army of those that go down to nature with considering eye are steadfastly undermining and obliterating the superstitious past, literally burying it under endless loads of accumulated facts; and the printing-presses, like so many Argos, take these facts on their voyage round the world.
To prejudice or haste, to self-conceit or ambition, she proudly shuts her treasuries to open them to men of humble heart, whom this world thinks simple dreamers her Newtons, and Owens, and Faradays. Why should you not become such a man as they?
Walker's face when he shook hands with her last night. Lord Brougham and Professor Faraday can, no doubt, command their thoughts. If many men could do so, there would be many Lord Broughams and many Professor Faradays. At the present moment Herbert Fitzgerald had no right to consider himself as following in the steps of either one or other of these great men.
