Description
Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Refers to work of Ottokar von Feilitzsch and Michael Faraday. Suggests some modification to the more controversial parts of the paper, but would support publication as it stands if that was the author's wish.
