‎---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- Nineteenth century Quaritch reprint of the first collected edition ---- "Between 1832 and 1852 Faraday published twenty-nine series of papers in the Philosophical transactions under the title Experimental researches in electricity . It was through these papers that his major discoveries relating to electricity and magnetism were first published. These papers, along with pertinent papers and letters published in other scientific journals, were collected in three volumes published in 1839, 1844 and 1855. The collection encompasses the entire range of Faraday's remarkable achievement, including his discovery of electromagnetic induction, his demonstration of the identity of all formes of electricity, his first general theory of electricity as a function of interparticulate strain, and the last series of researches on magnetism, containing the germ of modern field theory, in which Faraday rejected his earlier model of the transmission of magnetic energy in favor of one locating the manifestion of magnetic energy in the field surrounding the magnet".
