Faraday Sent The Notes He Had Taken At The Lecture To Davy, Who Was So Impressed By Faraday's Diligent Transcription That He Appointed Him His Scientific Assistant. Faraday Went On To Become A Giant Of Nineteenth-century Science, Widely Acknowledged To Have Been One Of The Greatest Experimental Physicists Of All Time.
