Abstract
Two hundred and ten years ago, 22-year-old Michael Faraday accompanied a leading chemist of the early 1800s, Sir Humphry Davy, on a tour of France and Italy. This epiphanous trip transformed an otherwise talented and conscientious person with a deep religious faith built on the Sandemanian religious sect into a scientific genius who any school or university would be envious of producing. This article discusses this tour and its consequences for Faraday.
