My dear Sir
I have before me a work of high repute in Germany entitled Die Beugungs Erscheinungen aus den Fundamentalgesetzen der Undulationstheorie analytisch entwickelt by F.M. Schwerd.1 I do not think it has yet been introduced into England – It is a most valuable work and if a translation has not yet appeared I would make arrangements for its publication in the next number of the Scientific Memoirs.2 Would you kindly inform me3 whether you have ever seen a translation of the work?
Believe me | most faithfully yours | John Tyndall
