Faraday, the son of a flsmith, went to day school and then, at age 13 or 14, was apprenticed to a bookbinder.
During this time he began to develop an interest in science and performed some chemistry experiments.

 Modern History Sourcebook: Edmund Burke: Reflections 1791
His Reflections, written in the form of a long letter in 1791, in a sense marks the origin of modern conservative thought.
Selden, and the other profoundly learned men, who drew this Petition of Right, were as well acquainted, at least, with all the general theories concerning the "rights of men," as any of the discourses in our pulpits, or on your tribune, full as well as Dr. Price, or as the Abbé Siéyès.
But, for reasons worthy of that practical wisdom which superseded their theoretic science, they preferred this positive, recorded, hereditary title to all which can be dear to the man and the citizen, to that vague speculative right, which exposed their sure inheritance to be scrambled for and torn to pieces by every wild, litigious spirit.

 Michael Faraday (1791-1867)
ome historians of science have pointed out that the nature and aims of physical experimentation can differ according to national and even local traditions and preferences.
Gooding's work opposes that of philosophers and historians of science who insist on the essentially theoretical nature of all experimentation, leading them to conclude that the success of an experiment relies wholly upon the presence of a coherent argument, rather than on demonstration or some other experimental or laboratory-based activity.
Gooding claims that such a view "bifurcates the scientist's world into an empirical world of pre-articulate experience and know-how, and another world of thought, talk, and argument."

 Strange Science: Dinosaurs and Dragons
Though paleontologists had given up the image of dinosaurs as oversized lizards decades earlier, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins persisted in depicting them as such in this painting, titled "Jurassic Life of Europe," produced around 1870.
Dinosaurs didn't generally need to hang onto trees for support, but in all fairness, this was a pretty good articulation — and the first relatively complete dinosaur skeleton known to science.
Hawkins, pictured standing under the skeleton, mocked up a giant iguana skull, and painted it green for this display.) Although the formidable comparative anatomist Sir Richard Owen maintained that dinosaurs walked on all fours, Joseph Leidy realized that the small size of the hadrosaur's forelimbs suggested that it was bipedal.
