Christian Friedrich Schoenbein to Faraday   First half of 18471

My dear Faraday

I take the liberty to introduce by these lines M. Schinz2 formerly [a] pupil of Bessel3 and Jacobi at Konigsberg and Professor of Natural Philosophy of Arau; he is an intelligent young man and desirous to get acquainted with the scientific establishments of Great Britain. You will oblige me very much by your favoring his views as far as you can do it. Of late I have medelled again with ozone and ascertained a number of various facts most of which will I think be communicated at Oxford4.
