![paper itself printed off separately by paying the expense of the paper or work but I do not know how I should send them to you. The copies of the papers 1 sent to you went from the Royal Society through the Ambassadors hands and very probably are lying at Bern. But I cannot tell. With respect to the Magneto electric machine I inquired at Newmans the price of them: I found those of full size were 12 Guineas by themselves and 14 Guineas with the different apparatus required to heat a wire, shock the system, decompose water etc. If you approve the price I will order one; but send me word how it shall be addressed. I am (in haste) my dear Sir Very truly Yours obliged M. Faraday. m Scha'ubein to Faraday} Dear Sir I take once more the liberty to address to you by writing a short account of the results of my latest researches on the peculiar condition of iron. To my opinion, these results, though they do not yet solve the riddle of the subject, are such as to excite scientific curiosity, at least, as much, as the facts did, a description of which I had the hono[u]r to communicate to you last year.^ The space allotted to a letter being so small, I am obliged to be as concise as possible in discribing the phenomena, recently observed by me; but if you should be interested with the details of the subject, I take the liberty of referring 3'ou to a paper of mine, which in some time will be published in ' Faraday inserted this letter in Phil. Mag. S. 3. vol. 10. 1837. p. 425 under the following title: Experiments on the peculiar voltaic condition of iron as excited by peroxide of lead. - Phil. Mag. S. 3. vol. 9. 1S36. p. 53; vol. 10. 1836. p. 133 and 267.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2192899x_0045.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
