Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ...a loadstone, attract more strongly than the loadstone attracts any iron; but once they are in contact with each other they unite more strongly, and become as it were clamped together, though with the same forces at work the substance remains the same.1 CHAPTER XVIII. AN ARMED LOADSTONE DOES NOT ENDOW WITH GREATER FORCE MAGNETIZED IRON THAN DOES AN UNARMED ONE. Take two pieces of iron, one magnetized with an armed and the other with an unarmed loadstone, and apply to one of them a weight of iron proportioned to its powers: the other loadstone will lift the same weight, and no more. Two needles also turn with the same velocity and constancy toward the poles of the earth, though one needle may have been touched by an armed magnet and the other by one unarmed. 1 Sir Kenelm Digby, "The Nature of Bodies," 1645, Chap. XXII, page 243; Jacobi Rohaulti, Physica, Londini 1718, Paf. Ill, Cap. VIII, p. 403, or the English translation by Dr. Clarke, London, 1728, Vol. II, page 181; Ath. Kircheri, Magnts; live de arte Magnetica, 1643, Lib. I, Pars II, page 63; Nicolao Cabeo, Philosophia Magneiica, 1629, Lib. IV, Cap. XLII, page 407. CHAPTER XIX. THAT UNITION IS STRONGER WITH AN ARMED LOADSTONE; HEAVIER WEIGHTS ARE THUS LIFTED; THE COITION IS NOT STRONGER, BUT COMMONLY WEAKER. That an armed loadstone lifts a greater weight is evident to all; but iron is drawn from the same distance, or rather from a greater distance, to the loadstone when the stone is without the iron helmet. This is to be tried with two pieces of iron of the same weight and form at. equal distance, or with one and the same needle, tested first with the armed then with the unarmed stone, at equal distances. CHAPTER XX. That An Armed Magnet Lifts Another, And That One A Third: ...

Book Description
Excerpt from William Gilbert of Colchester, Physician of London: On the Loadstone and Magnetic Bodies, and on the Great Magnet the Earth; A New Physiology, Demonstrated With Many Arguments and Experiments England's great poet, john Dryden, tells us: It is almost impossible to translate verbally and well at the same time; for the Latin (a most severe and compendious language) often expresses that in one word which either the barbarity or the narrowness of modern tongues cannot supply in more. But since every language is so full of its own proprieties that what is beautiful in one is often barbarous, nay, sometimes nonsense, in another, it would be unreasonable to limit a translator to the narrow compass of his author's words; it is enough if he choose out some expression which does not vitiate the sense. While, in order to do this acceptably in the present instance, it has often been found necessary to adhere very closely (even literally) to the original lines, the candid reader will naturally observe that greater satisfaction has been vouchsafed where paraphrasing has been resorted to for the better comprehension, more particularly, of words of Gilbert's own coinage.

Book Description
A masterpiece of early science, On the Lodestone and Magnetic Bodies, and on the Great Magnet the Earth: A New Physiology Demonstrated with Many Arguments and Experiments was originally published in Latin in 1600 by William Gilbert, a physician to Queen Elizabeth I and a pioneer of magnetism. In this groundbreaking work, Gilbert describes the properties of magnetic bodies, including the Earth itself, and offers a revolutionary new theory of magnetism. With its elegant prose and detailed illustrations, this book is a landmark in the history of science. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
