Royal Institution, | 5 Mar. 1863.
My dear Tyndall,
I cannot wait to see you or even to see the work1 (the inside of it), before I thank you for it. I mean the lectures:—and I rejoice to see them in this form. Those are best off who saw them with these illustrations and apparatus, and can now see them in the book, for the great subject, in its present state, needed the special advantages of both these modes of treatment. I am very happy to be one of the number of those privileged persons.
Ever affectionately yours, | M. Faraday
