Faraday to Roderick Impey Murchison   17 November 1855

Brighton | 17 Novr. 1855

My dear Sir Roderick

I am as above for health - I shall be in town this day fortnight & probably not before. If then I can be useful at the B.M.1 I shall be happy. But how is it that they ask for advice after the matter is arranged & not before. It may be that I should not have hesitated to give a free opinion before hand and may not like to do so when the matter is complicated by proceedings taken[.]

Ever My dear Sir Roderick | Yours Truly | M. Faraday


Endorsed by Murchison: British Museum Asphalt

The Trustees of the British Museum at their meeting on 10 November 1855 asked that Faraday be consulted about the use of asphalt for the new Round Reading Room. (Trustee minutes in BM CA).
