| Description | Letter dated 'Thursday afternoon'
States that were he to send Young the table he has, he doubts whether it could be intelligible; he will therefore shortly write out a more legible copy and either send or bring it with him.
Galvanic decomposition succeeds in large quantitites of water he believes equally but proceeds more slowly as the distance of the wires is increased.
Wishes success to Young's investigations of varied media, provided his conclusions are not at variance with his. |
