Julius Plücker to Faraday   21 August 1854

Bonn 21st of August | 1854.

Dear Sir!

I take the liberty to present to you two new papers. One of them is from Poggendorff’s Annalen¹; the other one I was obliged to write being this year Dean of the faculty². I thought it proper to explain at this occasion, what I think the present state of our knowledge of the magnetism of gazes and crystals. Belonging to this subject several assertions were attributed to me, I never made. I passed myself through different errors. Therefore I wished to precise my present meaning.

I join to this parcel other copies of the latin paper for the Reverend Secretary of Royal Institution³, to Mr Grove and Prof Tyndall. Your porter may, without giving you any trouble, deliver them by occasion.

I set off instantly for visiting my friends at Vienna.

Yours | most truly | Plücker
