Faraday to John William Parker   19 August 1831

R Institution | Aug 19. 1831

Dear Sir

I am sorry I missed you yesterday, indeed I have been very unfortunate in my endeavours to see you all together[.]

I have been so tired of delays about Molls paper1 that I had arranged with an old friend Mr Boosey2 to publish it. I therefore send you the title & should be glad to see a revise[.]

I shall want 500 copies[.] Mr. Boosey will send 500 of his bills to be stitched up with the pamphlet. When stitched send all to me and I will send to Boosey’s[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Do you observe what a muddle the plates of the last No are in; the only one belonging to that No is left out3[.]


Address: Mr. Parker

[Moll](1831d).
Thomas Boosey (1795-1871, B1). Publisher and Sandemanian.
The plate for Scrope (1831) (May issue) was left out and included in volume 2.
