Faraday to William Robert Grove   2 October 1840

2 Octr 1840

My dear Sir

I have been in Norfolk1 since I had you paper but now hasten to return it. The facts are very striking, but I am sorry to see that the relation is not more strict to Electrolytic transfer2[.] I mean that I wish all the passage had been from one side. It seems a new thing to think that what is wanting in the sum on one side may be made up by the dissipation from the other.

Still the facts as they are are very peculiar & striking.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

Grove Esq | &c &c &c


Address: - Grove Esq | &c &c &c | 5 Haverstock Terrace | Hampstead

Probably visiting the Sandemanian meeting house in Old Buckenham for which the London meeting house was responsible. See Cantor (1991), 66-7.

This would seem to be an extension of the work described in Grove (1840).
