William Henry to Faraday   6 December 1825

Manchester Dec 6 | 1825

My dear Sir,

Although the vol. of Phil. Trans. containing your paper on the compounds of Carbon and Hydrogen1 is not yet published, and will probably be anticipated by my new edition, yet I presume there can be nothing inconsistent with the laws or usages of the Royal Society, if I give an abstract of it in my forthcoming edition2. This I shall as before3 introduce into an Appendix, unless I hear to the contrary from you. But if any objection strikes you, I must beg the favour of you to write by an early post, otherwise I will not put you to the trouble of a letter on the subject4.

Believe me, Dear Sir, | Yours most faithfully | Willm. Henry


Address: M. Faraday Esq | Royal Institution | Albemarle St
