Modern developments from Faraday's work

I was sorry not to be able to go to England to receive this great honor directly from The Institution of Electrical Engineers. In some ways, however, it is not unfitting that I receive it through the kindly auspices of the AIEE, of which I have long been a member. Nor is it unfitting that I receive it in Springfield, Mass., for there are many factors connecting this locality with the event.
