This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past. This is what I undertake to do for you, reader. With this drop of ink at the end of my pen, I will show you the roomy workshop of Mr. Jonathan Burge, carpenter and builder, in the village of Hayslope, as it appeared on the eighteenth of June, in the year of our Lord 1799.

Not illustrated. 1891 Excerpt: ... proves rotation of the ether or of the molecules in the interior of magnetised bodies. We have now seen many connections between magnetic phenomena and purely mechanical motions; but, even at the risk of tiring you with the subject, I must draw your attention to another class of phenomena attendant upon the magnetisation of iron which was first discovered by Joule. He proved that when an iron bar is magnetised Fig. 10.--Bidwell'g apparatus. C is a coil of wire, It an iron rod working the lever, L, which has a fulcrum F The lengthening or shortening of the rod E is shoTM by the movements of a spot of light reflected from the mirror, M, on a pivot, P. its length is increased. It has been supposed by some that the cause is to be found in a greater length of the molecule of iron along its magnetic axis, so that when all the molecules are twisted so that their lengths all point one way the bar is lengthened. This view is rather weakened by the subsequent discovery of Mr. Shelford Bidwell, who has confirmed Joule's discovery so far as moderate magnetisation is concerned. But he finds that when the magnetisation is increased the bar ceases to expand, diminishes to its natural length, and with very powerful magnetising forces actually contracts to a considerable extent. As to the causes of these phenomena we are in darkness. But I feel confident that they are bound to tell us a great deal about the true physical meaning of magnetism. I consider myself fortunate in being able to show you with Mr. Bidwell's assistance the results which he has obtained. The apparatus used by him consists of a piece of iron rod fixed at the lower end, but pressing upwards on a lever. The long arm of that lever acts upon a mirror resting on a pivot, so that if the iron rod lengthens it...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
