Richard Owen to Faraday   12 April 1858

British Museum | April 12, 1858.

My dear Faraday,

I am induced to depart from a rule of not trespassing on such time as yours, on account of the sterling merit, and excellent character of the bearer, Mr. Julius Sax¹. Who is most industrious and ingenious in the manufacture of philosophical instruments, & most docile in efforts to apply his skill in carrying out any ideas suggested to him for new or special ends, in such apparatus. Mr. J. Sax deserves to be known, as having these qualities.

Forgive me this trespass, & believe me

sincerely your’s, | Richard Owen.
