Faraday to George Biddell Airy   5 September 1851

Royal Institution | 5 Septr. 1851

My dear Sir

I think so well of Dr Tyndalls papers that I should be very glad to hear he had the Toronto Professorship because I think it would give him the power of working & that he would work to the honor of the University1[.]

He spoke so well & clearly at Ipswich2 in explaining his results that I think he would make a very good Lecturer[.] With kindest remembrances to Mrs. & Miss Airy

I am as Ever | Yours Most Truly | M. Faraday

The | Astronomer Royal | &c &c &c
