My dear Sir

Many thanks for your kindness and your note. You are entering still more & more deeply into the Scientific world I am withdrawing more & more from it. Such becomes us both at our respective ages. May we both be happy in our courses[.]

Ever Truly Yours | M. Faraday

The syllabus was reprinted in The Geologist, 1862, 5: 465-8. The first lecture (p.466) referred to Faraday’s views.
