Date:
[24 November 1861]
Source of text:
RS:HS 23.350 (C: RI 515)

RS:HS 24.317 (C: RI 571)
Summary:

Thanks for work on diamagnetism and magne-crystallic action [Researches on Diamagnetism (1870)], which JH is excited to read. Mentions long-abandoned plans for magnetization experiments. Envies those who can see JT's 'magic' experiments at Royal Institution.
