Faraday to Charles Richard Weld   6 April 1846

Private

R. Institution | 6 April 1846

Dear Sir

As to the accompanying paper¹ I should submit my opinion in a very great degree to that of the high chemical judges of the Society as Professor Graham &c. The views are in a great measure theoretical & founded on reasoning more than upon an accumulation of facts & weights - so that much depends upon the character of the party - but consider the author - & the facts which he does describe & all the circumstances I should be for the printing - subjecting however my opinion to that of those who are better chemists than myself[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

C.R. Weld Esq | &c &c &c
