Faraday to William Scoresby   14 April 1839

Royal Institution | 14 April 1839

Dear Sir

I am very highly flattered & obliged by your thought of me & shall not merely read but always look at your book¹ with great pleasure since I mean to consider it as remembrance on your part[.]

I have not many copies of my papers but I hope you will allow me to offer the accompanying for your acceptance - and however little the value of the theory in them they on my part represent the very high & sincere respect in which I have always held your name[.]

Ever My dear Sir | Your obliged | M. Faraday

Revd W. Scoresby | &c &c &c
