Difficult to visualize all the experiments being described, though Bill Hammack's YouTube videos help in this regard.

“Indeed, all I can say to you at the end of these lectures (for we must come to an end at one time or other) is to express a wish that you may, in your generation, be fit to compare to a candle; that you may, like it, shine as lights to those about you; that, in all your actions, you may justify the beauty of the taper by making your deeds honourable and effectual in the discharge of your duty to your fellow men.”
An absorbing read, but the Kindle version would have been much better with the illustrations.

Faraday was clearly more than a lecturer, he was a skilled teacher. The lectures themselves are accessible and fun, but do go quickly to chemistry experiments students these days wouldn't see until high school or college - some real dangerous metals involved! He's the opposite of "dont try this at home"!
