Faraday to John Frederick William Herschel   8 September 1825

56 Devonshire Street | Thursday Mor

Dear Sir

I find on looking at my paper that there are some errors of the press1. One (or two perhaps) of importance[.] You will find them at pp. 8. 12. 20. and 26[.] You will perceive from my corrections in the accompanying copy what they are. That at pp 26 and 27. I am afraid cannot be made but by a person merely reading the paper and that at p. 12. is rather important. What will you do with them as regards the vol of the Transactions.

I am very sorry to hear that you have shared in the general indisposition which has occurred this summer but your servant tells me you are recovering.

I am Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | M. Faraday

J.F. Herschell Esq | &c &c.
