Faraday to James Prescott Joule   24 March 1843¹

Royal Institution, 24th March, 1843.

Dear Sir,

I have received and at once and looked at your paper². Many thanks for so good a contribution to the beloved science. What glorious steps electricity has taken in the days within our remembrance, and what hopes are held out for the future! The great difficulty is to remove the mists which dim the dawn of a subject, and I cannot but consider your paper as doing very much that way for a most important part of natural knowledge.

I am, my dear Sir, | Most truly yours, | M. Faraday.

J.P. Joule, Esq.
