Nathaniel Wallich to Faraday   24 April 18501

Athenaeum 24 April | 1850

My dear Sir

Permit me to have the honor of introducing the bearer Dr. Beron2 a meteorologist of distinction who has been strongly recommended to me by Profr von Martius3 the celebrated botanist of Munich. Dr Beron has expressly directed his attention to the subject of terrestrial magnetism upon which, as well as on other similar subject[s] he is engaged in publishing a work4. He is most anxious to submit his views to You, and relying on your kind indulgence I venture to furnish him with these lines, remaining with the highest respect,

Dear Sir | Yours very sincerely | N. Wallich

Profr M. Faraday | &c &c &c F.R.S.
