Faraday to Edward William Brayley   4 April 1846

R Institution | 4 April 1846

My dear Sir

I am much obliged by your note - I never have any secrets about published data & documents & am happy to say I have already published in my researches a reference to Seebecks1 results as they are given in the Bulletin Universelle2 where however the account is probably very imperfect[.] You will find it at the end of my papers or p 62 of the Part of the Transactions3 - I hoped by that to draw the attention of Philosophers to it. I have no time or need to go into it further at present.

With my thanks | Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

E.W. Brayley Esq | &c &c
