Faraday to Dawson Turner   2 July 1830

R Institution | July. 2. 1830

My dear Sir

It was with great pleasure that I received your letter and hope that I shall some time or other be able to profit by your kindness & see you at Yarmouth[.] It will not however be this summer for next week I set off for the North & shall have too little time to spend there[.]

With reference to Lectures I hardly know who to name for I an acquainted with very few persons of the kind you desire. Mr Ritchie¹ the person who has been lecturing upon Natural Philosophy at this Institution is a clever man & perhaps it might suit him this spare time of the year[.] There is also a gentleman of the name of Addams² who has also lectured in the way you mention upon different branches of sciences especially Mechanical & Natural Philosophy[.] Their manner of lecturing is very different and I do not know which is best[.] Mr Ritchie is I think the more philosophical man he has written papers in the Transactions[.] You may address to Mr Ritchie at this House and to Mr Addams either here or at Mr. Newman’s Regent Street.

Pray remember me kindly to Capt Manby he will have given you an account of his interesting evening here.

I am My dear Sir | Very faithfully yours | M. Faraday
