Abstract
In 1824 Michael Faraday was an established member of the scientific community in London, but it was not clear which areas of science he was going to make his own. That summer he visited the Isle of Wight, apparently for a family holiday, and while there he made notes of his geological observations. These notes, which are published here for the first time, show him as an observant worker at the forefront of a new science. He could have become a geologist, but his career went in other directions. The work recorded here is but a footnote to his biography, but interesting for the light it sheds on his range of interests and activities.
