Faraday to Charles W. Woolnough   2 January 1854¹

Royal Institution | 2 January 1854

Sir

I beg to thank you for your kindness in sending me a copy of your very practical work on Marbling². I feel much interest in the subject because of its associations with my early occupation of book-binding and also because of the very beautiful principles of natural philosophy which it involves[.] The Marbled cloth is very good indeed[.] I suppose it is not done by a continuous process but in sheets[.] Indeed I see that is the case at p 72³[.]

I am Sir | Your Very Obliged Servant | M. Faraday

C.W. Woolnough Esq
