Subject: help with possible Faraday quotation?
Hello all,
A library patron has asked for help verifying this quotation, supposedly by
Michael Faraday:
"I hold my theories by my fingertips so that the least breeze of fact might
blow them away."
Much searching online and in print hasn't turned up a reference. Do you have
any leads or thoughts on sources to consult?
Thanks,
Michelle
