Mr Faraday presents his respectful Compliments to Lady Mary Fox and begs permission to offer a copy of his work on Chemical Manipulation1[.] His excuse for this is Lady Mary Fox's subscription to the Lectures at the Royal Institution2; and though the character of the work is such as to forbid any supposition of its affording either amusement or fit information to Lady Mary Fox yet Mr Faraday hopes that as a mark of unfeigned respect on his part it will not be entirely unacceptable[.]
Royal Institution | 20 Jany 1836
