Davis's Manual of Magnetism: Including Galvanism, Magnetism, Electro-Magnetism, Electro-Dynamics, Magneto-Electricity, and Thermo-Electricity (Classic Reprint)

The present wcrk is principally occupied with Magnetism in its connection withE lectricity. But the general phenomena of both these sciences are described as fully as the thorough comprehension of the relations existing between them appeared to require. It has been the aim to give to the book a practical, rather than a theoretical character, and to introduce hypotheses no further than was essential to a clear explanation of the phenomena described. Many important observations and results connected with magnetism and electricity have never been brought together in any scientific work; and the present volume, though mainly intended as a companion to the apparatus manufactured by me, has, in consequence, taken the form of a treatise on those branches of science to which it relates, and may be used as a text-book.
