Royal Institution | 10 May 1838
My dear Sir
Mr Prevosts kindness gives me the opportunity of sending you a copy of a paper on Induction which though printed is not yet published1[.] Two other papers of mine developing the consequences of the theory have been read & are now in course of printing and you shall [have] copies as soon as I have them2. I am writing a fourth paper on the same subject which I expect will be ready for the Royal Society in a few weeks3[.] I have nothing new to say except what is in the papers & sending them will be the best way of informing you[.]
Our library wants certain volumes of the Bibliotheque Universelle & the Librarian says he cannot obtain them at your Agents here. I do not know how the arrangements of the publication is made but if the publisher at Geneva could send them to his bookseller in London with the next Transit of a new number and the bill for them then our Librarian could apply for & obtain them in the regular business like way[.] The volumes are the intire for 1827, namely
34. 35. 36. <-> Literature
34. 35. 36. <-> Science
12 Agriculture
and for 1831.
46. 47. 48 Literature
making altogether 10 volumes.
With best remembrances to Madame de la Rive4,
I am My dear Sir | Yours Veryfaithfully | M. Faraday
A. de la Rive | &c &c &c
