Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rudimentary Magnetism: Being a Concise Exposition of the General Principles of Magnetical Science and the Purposes to Which It Has Been Applied The many rich discoveries which have been made within a comparatively few years in the sister sciences of Electricity and Magnetism render it difficult to arrange, in a concise and rudimentary form, the various phenomena of one of these departments of physics, treated separately. Taking the term 'magnetism, ' however, in its most general acceptation, the author proposes, in the first place, to put the student in possession of such elementary knowledge as bears directly on that species of force, peculiar to ferruginous matter, by which one particle of iron is observed to attract another particle at very sensible distances, - but without entering further into the combined sciences of electricity and magnetism than may be requisite to an adequate exposition of well-attested facts. It will also be desirable to combine with this statement a general history of the subject, considered as a distinct branch of physics. Secondly, it is proposed to describe the various magnetical instruments and manipulations necessary to the further prosecution of this wonderful and interesting subject; - thus completing the two Parts of the present Treatise.
