Faraday to William Buckland   20 August 1831

Royal Institution | Aug. 20 1831

My dear Sir

There is certainly chromium in the meteoric stone particles of which you have left with me it therefore forms no exception in that respect to meteoric stones in general1. I think you must have made some mistake and given different substances to Dr Turner and myself [.]

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

Revd. Dr. Buckland | &c &c &c


Address: Revd. Dr. Buckland | &c &c &c | Christchurch | Oxford2
