Third Earl of Rosse to Faraday   1 July 1853

13 Connaught Place | July 1st 1853

Dear Faraday

Can you tell me where the best published account is to be found of the process for precipitating silver by grape sugar, essential oils &c1.

Every process which affords the slightest prospect of facilitating the construction of true brilliant surfaces of silver, deserves to be examined[.]

Truly Yours | Rosse

This method had been invented by Liebig but was not published until Liebig (1856). On this see Vaupel (1991).
