Faraday to Morris Moore1   26 April 1855

Royal Institution, April 26, 1855.

Dear Sir, - I have not the slightest objection to make to your understanding of my evidence2, but I never thought for a moment of saying so, because I think you, and every one, have a right to comment, in any way they please, upon anything that is said and published under such circumstances. If you had thought yourself called upon to remark critically (instead of kindly, as you have done) upon what I had to say, I should have approved of your doing so, being done conscientiously.

I am very truly yours, | M. Faraday.

Morris Moore, Esq., 27, Soho Square.
