Mr. Faraday

This association being aware of the profound knowledge with which, in various branches of the sciences, your Lordship is endowed, in whom also coincide the conditions which constitute its Statutes, it has seen fit, in the meeting of the 28th of this month, to nominate you foreign Academic correspondent, well convinced that making use of your immense learning, and understanding the need to disseminate scientific advances, you will be kind enough to communicate to us all that which you believe useful in order to achieve the laudable objective of your institute.

In accordance with this Academy, I have the greatest satisfaction in informing your Lordship of this, and wait for the first opportunity to send you the corresponding diploma and the statutes which govern it.

May God protect your Lordship for many years. Madrid 29th of June 1848.
