 FARADAX; MICHAEL (1791-1869).
. Inventor . London.

A.L.S. to John Percy (1817-1889).

18 Mar. 186A. 1%p. (double sheet,
octave.) With embossed stamp of The
Royal institution.

A thank—you letter for a COpy of Percy's

book on iron and steel; he is glad that

Percy is to lecture at the Institution in

the spring. A friendly and warm letter written

to the great metallurgist; Percy‘s volume,

On Iron and Steel, had just been-published.

It was the second part of a projected work to
cover the entire science of metals; reserach on it
had begun in 1851, and Faraday speaks of the
fatigue which Percymust be suffering.

 

 18 March 186).;
My dear Percy

I have received your great work on Iron & Steel

a wonderful result of your industry & acumen.

The matter in it catches my attention every time

I open it. I feel a little wearied by the thoughts

of reading it. What must the ﬂairﬂcing out of it

have been to you. It seems to me like a continuous
romanee of life or rather of many lives. I do not
wonder that you have been shy about lecturing here-
nevertheless I am glad we are going to hear you after
Easter (in trust that the matter will not add to the
residue of fatigue that must be upon you but act rather as
a relief. I feel myself unworthy of your gift 8c kindness
but still accapt them 8: thank you very heartily for

.both.

Ever yours
M. Faraday

Dr. Percy
