ABSTRACT
Largely because of their immediacy in the world of technology, and also because of their brilliant quantitative interpretation and extension by Clerk Maxwell, Faraday's discoveries in electricity and magnetism tend to dwarf, at least in the mind of the modern physicist, engineer or cosmologist, his contributions to other branches of science. But, as we have indicated earlier, he is also one of the founders of organic and analytical chemistry, of electro-and m agneto-chem istry and, indeed, of most sub disciplines of the physical sciences.
