Faraday to John Frederick William Herschel   26 May 1826

(Private) | Royal Institution | May 26 1826

My dear Sir

I believe yours are the hands into which I should put a paper intended for the Royal Society¹. I have shewn it to Sir Humphry Davy who thinks pretty well of it but does not seem quite satisfied with the argument[.] I cannot however alter my view and for my comfort and more my fullest confidence Dr. Wollaston is quite satisfied with it[.]

I hope you will take the trouble of glancing over it and that you will be of Dr. Wollaston’s opinion and that afterwards you will tell the President you have the paper.

I am dear Sir | Yours Very faithfully | M. Faraday

J.F.W. Herschell
