Which books inspired Michael Faraday to begin studying science?

Michael Faraday’s interest in science was sparked during his apprenticeship to a bookbinder, where he took the opportunity to read the books brought in for rebinding. Two works were particularly influential in his early development:1

• Encyclopædia Britannica: The article on electricity in the third edition of this work fascinated Faraday, leading him to construct his own crude electrostatic generator and voltaic pile to perform experiments.1
• Conversations on Chemistry: Written by Jane Marcet, this accessible textbook was instrumental in Faraday's career. He read the work as a teenager and later credited it with playing a significant role in his decision to pursue chemistry.2
