JAN 08 1846
The opening page of the Twenty-first Series of Faraday's Experimental Researches in Electricity, printed by the Royal Society and headed "Received December 24, 1845 - Read January 8, 1846". Paragraph 2343 begins the continuation of "On new magnetic actions, and on the magnetic condition of all matter", the paper in which Faraday set out that ALL matter responds to a magnet, most of it by being repelled. This is the primary printed document of the discovery, from Faraday's own copy in the Burndy Library.
