Experimental Researches in Electricity, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)
For reasons stated in the First Volume of these Experimental Researches, I have been induced to gather the remaining Series together, and to add to them certain other papers devoted to Electrical and Magnetic Research. To the prefatory remarks containing these reasons, I would recall the recollection of those who may honour these Researches with any further attention. I have printed the papers in this Volume, as before, with little or no alteration, except that I have placed the fair and just date of each at the top of the pages. As regards magnecrystallic action, which commences at Paragraph 2454, the reader will see the gradual change and enlargement of view respecting its nature in the course of long investigations at the following places, 2550. 2562. 2576. 2584. c, 2591. 2639. 2797. 2818. 2836. c. I would refer readers to the paper by Tyndall and Knoblauch in the Philosophical Magazine, 1850, vol. xxxvii. p. 1, for a very philosophical account of the physical cause of the magnecrystallic action, and to the paper by Professor W. Thomson on the theory Marchand and Scheerer say that bismuth is expanded by pressure and has its structure changed. Gmelin s Handbook, iv. p. 428.
