My paper on thc chernical effects produced by Electricity,Heat and Light, of which I talked to you in my last letter isgoing to be printed 2 and as soon as finished, you shall haveit, but 1 am sorry for you to say that it is written in my nativetongue; being however not very voluminous you may easilyget it translated for you. I should like very much indeed thatyou would take notice of its contents.

Mrs. Schcenbein and the girls are doing well and charge

me with their best compliments to their friend at the Royal

Institution. I join my kindest regards to Mrs. Faraday and

am for ever

Mr. Stehlin, Juris utriusque Doctor, of Bäle willperhaps take the liberty to call upon you, to enquire after the

interesting results of your investigations; I look upon them as of the greatestconsequence to the development of natural philosophy." Vide Kahlbaum andThon, Briefwechsel Liebig-Schcenbein, p. 18. Leipzig 1899.

1 Liebig says: "Professor Schcenbein, at my request, has compiled his.investigations on this subject. To me these phenomena and observations, whichthis renowned investigator describes, are of the highest importance and conse-quence to science, for the disclosure of nevv properties of matter has ever beenthe origin of new laws and the source of insight into phenomena hitherto notaccounted for."
