An
1802 drawing by James Gillray of another exciting science lecture at
the Royal Institution! Humphry Davy is the dark-haired man holding the

Michael Faraday, who came from a very poor family, became one of the
greatest scientists in history. His achievement was remarkable in a time
when science was usually the preserve of people born into wealthy
families. The unit of electrical capacitance is named the farad in his honor, with the symbol F.Link: https://www.famousscientists.org/michael-faraday/
