Joseph Henry [ 1797 - 1878 ] American scientist who served as the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. A polymath, he is perhaps best known for the discovery of Electromagnetic induction. Of these eight volumes it has been said 'since the first volume of Henry's papers was published. In the intervening years they have become a key resource for understanding the development of science not only in the United States but also elsewhere and particularly in Britain because of the close contacts Henry maintained there. The volumes have traced Henry's active career in teaching and scientific research (especially in electricity) from his beginnings in Albany through to his time at Princeton. [BHJS] 13600 grams.
