Ernst Becker to Faraday   15 March 1857

Buckingham Palace | March 15th 57. | S.W.

My dear Sir,

I had the pleasure of receiving the two copies of your lecture¹ and I have given one to The Prince. His Royal Highness, gratefully acknowledging your kindness of sending him a copy, wishes me to tell you, how much pleasure it will give him carefully to peruse again in print the thoughts you expressed in that lecture - thoughts too deep & too momentous to be sufficiently appreciated in all their importance, when heard for the first time.

I remain, my dear Sir | Yours truly | E. Becker

Mr Faraday, Esq
