Faraday had been apprenticed to a book binder. He started reading some of the books in the shop brought in for binding, and was very interested in the science books. He started attending Davy's (and other) lectures to the Royal Academy. He took notes and drew the experimental apparatus used in the lectures. He Bound these into a book and presented them to Davy and asked for a job in the laboratory. A friend of Davy told him to hire Faraday and make him a 'dish washer', just to clean the lab and the equipment. Faraday began making contributions to Davy's work and by the time Davy retired Faraday was given his place in the Royal Society.
