e these things excited a kind of ecstasy in his mind, and to
a mind open to such ecstasy the pomps and pleasures of the world are
usually of small account. Nature, not education, rendered Faraday strong
and refined. A favourite experiment of his own was representative of
himself. He loved to show that water in crystallizing excluded all
foreign ingredients, however intimately they might be mixed with it. Out
of acids, alkalis, or saline solutions, the crystal came sweet and pure.
By some such natural process in the formation of this man, beauty and
nobleness coalesced, to the exclusion of everything vulgar and low. He
did not learn his gentleness in the world, for he withdrew himself from
its culture; and still this land of England contained no truer gentleman
than he. Not half his greatness was incorporate in his science, for
science could not reveal the bravery and delicacy of his heart.

But it is time that I should end these weak words, and lay my poor
garland on the grave of this

Just and faithful knight of God.
