Robert Edmond Grant to Faraday   24 May 1833

To Dr. Faraday

My Dear Sir

I regret that I was from home when your card arrived yesterday.

The 31st instant was the day we agreed upon for my first appearance before your critical assembly and the subject which was suggested to me by Mr. Solly is I think a very suitable one for that occasion, as one of which a connected an<<d>> intelligible view may be given within the hour allowed for these evening demonstrations1.

No other avocation shall interfere with that engagement, so that if you please you may announce my subject for next Friday.

I remain | My Dear Sir | Yours most truly | Robert E. Grant

10 Seymour Place North | Euston Square | <<2>>4 May 1833.


Address: [MS torn] Faraday | Royal Institution | Albemarle Street

See Lit.Gaz., 8 June 1833, p.361 for an account of Grant's Friday Evening Discourse of 31 May 1833 "On the development of the circulating system of man and animals".
