No one in England knew about his subject, and I believe he was very little in touch with workers abroad: he never spoke of his work, did not expect recognition in his life-time, and even when he was put up for the Fellowship of the Royal Society did not expect to be elected.
Walang isa sa England, alam tungkol sa kanyang paksa, at ako ay naniniwalang siya ay napaka-kaunti sa hawakan ng mga manggagawa sa ibang bansa: siya ay hindi kailanman nagsalita ng kanyang trabaho, hindi inaasahan na pagkilala sa kanyang buhay-oras, at kahit na siya ay maglagay ng up para sa Fellowship of sa Royal Society ay hindi inaasahan na maging elected.
