"At nine o'clock the lecturer commenced his
lecture and his experiments, and then I formed a part of his audience. It was
wonderful both to hear and to see. The greater part of it was beyond my
comprehension, but it led me to think that if we men can acquire so much, we
must surely be intended to last longer than the little span which extends only
to the time when we are hidden away under the earth. His experiments were quite
miracles on a small scale, and yet the explanations flowed as naturally as water
from his lips.
At the time of Moses and the prophets, such a man would
have been placed among the sages of the land; in the middle ages they would have
burnt him at the stake. "All night long I could not sleep; and the next evening
when I gave another performance and the lecturer was present, I was in one of my
best moods. "I once heard of an actor, who, when he had to act the part of a
lover, always thought of one particular lady in the audience; he only played for
her, and forgot all the rest of the house, and now the Polytechnic lecturer was
my she, my only auditor, for whom alone I played.
"When the performance
was over, and the puppets removed behind the curtain, the Polytechnic lecturer
invited me into his room to take a glass of wine. He talked of my comedies, and
I of his science, and I believe we were both equally pleased. But I had the best
of it, for there was much in what he did that he could not always explain to me.
For instance, why a piece of iron which is rubbed on a cylinder, should become
magnetic. How does this happen? The magnetic sparks come to it,- but how? It is
the same with people in the world; they are rubbed about on this spherical globe
till the electric spark comes upon them, and then we have a Napoleon, or a
Luther, or some one of the kind.
