Doctor Holmes once whimsically demanded, speaking of his audiences in those simple early days when he went about lecturing like Emerson and Alcott and other saints and sages of New England. "Do they think I can't stand it? Why don't they give me three times three? I can stand it very well."
You will know how to look at things, and at your hand I should expect much. "Here we are just lecturing away, and I am too tired to attempt anything, much less to do anything just now; but the goodwill of such men as you is a great stimulus, and will, I trust even with me, produce something else praiseworthy. Ever, my dear Nasmyth, yours most truly, M. FARADAY." Nuremberg St. Petersburg Dannemora.
