Faraday to John William Parker   30 May 18541

R Institution | 30 May 1854

My dear Sir

I return you the revise2. You may do as you like about sending me the sheets when corrected. I think I should not make any further change but I am anxious that those made should be put in and that errors should not drop in in making the corrections. As the title page of each lecture will I suppose be cancelled in the volume3 so the date may go there where you have placed it.

Lady Brodie4 (14 Savile Row) asked me if the lecture were published separately to tell the bookseller to send her a dozen copies. I suppose it is in your way to supply her with them and will leave it in your hands[.]

Very Truly Yours | M. Faraday
