The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: which guided him, and connected them; to gain entrance into that
strong and active brain, and read from it the riddle of the world--
this is a work not easy of performance, and all but impossible amid
the distraction of duties of another kind. That I should at one
period or another speak to you regarding Faraday and his work is
natural, if not inevitable; but I did not expect to be called upon
to speak so soon. Still the bare suggestion that this is the fit
and proper time for speech sent me immediately to my task: from it
I have returned with such results as I could gather, and also with
the wish that those results were more worthy than they are of the
greatness of my theme.
