George Biddell Airy to Faraday   30 April 1846

Royal Observatory Greenwich | 1846 April 30

My dear Sir

The experiments which you describe in your letter of yesterday1 meet my wants completely.

The experiment of 21952 may logically be considered as representing their combination, but the interpretation is not entirely beyond dispute: while that of the experiments with planes of polarisation really varied is absolutely beyond dispute.

I am, my dear Sir, | Very truly yours | G.B. Airy

Michael Faraday Esq | &c &c &c
