I Have Far More Confidence

I Have Taken Your Advice And The Names Used Are Anode Cathode Anions Cations And Ions The Last I Shall Have But Little Occasion For. I Had Some Hot Objections Made To Them Here And Found Myself Very Much In The Condition Of The Man With His Son And Ass Who Tried To Please Every Body.

It May Be A Weed Instead Of A Fish That, After All My Labour, I At Last Pull Up.

Tyndall, ... I Must Remain Plain Michael Faraday To The Last; And Let Me Now Tell You, That If Accepted The Honour Which The Royal Society Desires To Confer Upon Me, I Would Not Answer For The Integrity Of My Intellect For A Single Year.

All Your Names I And My Friend Approve Of Or Nearly All As To Sense & Expression, But I Am Frightened By Their Length & Sound When Compounded. As You Will See I Have Taken Deoxide And Skaiode Because They Agree Best With My Natural Standard East And West. I Like Anode & Cathode Better As To Sound, But All To Whom I Have Shewn Them Have Supposed At First That By Anode I Meant No Way.

There’s Nothing Quite As Frightening As Someone Who Knows They Are Right.
