Faraday to Arthur Aikin   8 March 1849

R Institution | 8 Mar 1849

My dear Aikin

Can you inform me on the following points? Was not the lime light used very early in the Society of Arts room? at what date? is it recorded in the Transactions or in print? Was it or not the first proposal or application of the lime light?

I have a vague notion that the lime light was shewn first there & if so I have no doubt you can tell me at once[.]

Ever Yours | M. Faraday
