In the mean time, Cavendish and faraday, working quite independently of their Continental colleagues, were making significant strides in electricity in England.

Cavendish, Sir Humphrey Davy and faraday, the great English scientists, to whom so much of progress in electricity and in physics is due, were very similar in this respect to their Italian colleagues.

As one remarkable instance we have the Leyden jar; and after the splendid experiments of faraday in complete and final establishment of the substantial identity of magnetism and electricity, we may cite the magnet, both the natural and the electro-magnet, in neither of which is it possible to produce one kind of electricity by itself, or to charge one pole without charging an opposite pole with the contrary electricity at the same time.
