Faraday to William Whewell   5 May 1834

R Institution | Monday

My dear Sir

Hoping that this sheet of paper will reach you before you write to me I hasten to mention two names instead of eisode & exode which are free I think from objection as to involving a point of theory Namely Voltode and Galvanode[.]

My friend Dr Nicholl proposes Alphode and Betode[.]

Then the compound are good in sound Volta-stecheon Galva-stecheon or Alphastecheon & Beta-stecheon.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Rev W. Whewell | &c &c &c


Endorsed by Whewell: And. May 61.

Letter 717.
