Faraday to Andrew Pritchard1   7 March 1829

Royal Institution | Mar 7 1829

Sir

I beg to thank you very sincerely for your courtesy in sending me a copy of your beautiful work2. The subjects you study are in themselves so highly attractive and beautiful and at the same time they are philosophical that I have often been tempted to turn to them but have as often been forbidden by stern necessity[.]

I am Sir | Your very obedient Servant | M. Faraday

Mr Pritchard
