Inner Temple | 19th January 1853
Dear Dr. Faraday,
Will you send me an order for admission to the R.In. on Friday next, to hear your Lecture on “Magnetic Force“?1
I have just sent to press a work on “The Intellectual & Moral Development of this Age“2 (of which I shall send you a copy); & in it I speak not a little about your discoveries3 - & represent you, as the head of the Chemists of the Age, or on the eve of making some prodigious discovery: as I truly believe you are.
I am sorry that I missed you so soon after we had begun to talk together, at the Duke of Northumberland’s, some few months ago4. I looked for you, within 5 minutes afterwards, everywhere & you were gone!
Believe me | My dear Professor Faraday | Very faithfully Ever | Your’s | Samuel Warren
P.S. I presume the Lecture begins at 8pm?
Professor Faraday DCL
