Faraday on electricity - W. E. H. Lecky

This quote was added by user85179
An intimate friend of Faraday once described to me how, when Faraday was endeavouring to explain to Gladstone and several others an important new discovery in science Gladstone's only commentary was "but, after all, what use is it?" "Why, sir," replied Faraday, "there is every probability that you will soon be able to tax it!"
