Charles Mayne Young to Faraday   20 June 1838

My dear Sir,

I am much gratified to learn, from our Friend Mr Bain¹, the wish you have expressed to possess my autograph - I consider this request, a great mark of distinction, as coming from a Man whose Genius and industry, are successfully exerted to benefit mankind; and addressed to one whose humble efforts could at most afford them transient amusement.

I am in all the Seriousness of Truth, your great admirer and

faithful Servant | C: M: Young

174 Piccadilly | 20 June 1838.

To Michael Faraday Esq.
