Faraday to Charles Manby   27 August 1853

Royal Institution | 27 Aug 1853

My dear Manby

In haste to introduce to you M. Wage[n]mann¹ who wishes to become a member of the Civil Engineers - I send you at the same time a Parafine candle of which he is the author & I think so well of these candles that I sent one to Mr Walker some time ago as a very interesting object. Think of them being made at not merely a marketable but a cheap cost. What shall we come to - for here the coal mine beats the bee.

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
