Julius Plücker to Faraday   19 July 1848

Bonn, 19 July 1848.

My dear Sir

I received your very kind letter of the 12 June¹, and was glad to find by it, that you paid some attention to the new facts I published during the last year. The paper² I spoke of in my former letter³ will accompany the present one and I would give you an extract of it in English, if I had not the intention to pay a visit to England in the first days of August. Then I schould [sic] be happy to see you and to give every explanation. Allow me only, Sir, to mention, that since I sent my paper to M. Poggendorff, I got very fine curves showing how the intensity of Magnetism and Diamagnetism is depending on temperature. The most expressive curves are those of Nickel and Bismuth, indicating both the same general law, concerning, I think, all bodies. The passage from solidity to fluidity seems to be of no influence.

I did not dream that my last letter would have the honour to be published⁴, but if you thought it convenient, I have nothing to say but only to thank you, for being introduced by you to the English philosophers.

With the best wishes for your health, I am, Sir Most | respectfully yours | Plücker
