Faraday to T. Huxtable   25 March 1823

Royal Institution: March 25, 1823.

Dear Huxtable, - I met with another explosion on Saturday evening, which has again laid up my eyes. It was from one of my tubes, and was so powerful as to drive the pieces of glass like pistol-shot through a window. However, I am getting better, and expect to see as well as ever in a few days. My eyes were filled with glass at first.

When you see Magrath, who I hope is improving fast, tell him I intended calling upon him, but my second accident has prevented me.

Yours ever, | M. Faraday
