Faraday to William Hallowes Miller   23 March 1857

[Royal Institution embossed letterhead] | London W. | 23 Mar 1857

My dear Professor

I have just sent a paper to the Royal Society for you - it is from Professor Plucker of Bonn one of the Foreign Members¹. In it is a letter addressed to Admiral Smyth as Foreign Secretary. It is on Magnecrystallography & contains as he tells me a perfect mathematical theory. When he told me some time ago that he was intending to send a paper to the Royal Society² I warned him that it must be original³ and he tells me that it is so. Of that & its merits you will be a far better judge than I am[.] The English is his own[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday
