About This Item
Ferguson I, 467; Merill 6: "This third edition of 'Magnes', the finest and most complete of the three editions, was greatly enlarged by Kircher. It contains many observations and experiments not in the two previous editions"; Ronalds 267; STC 461; Wellcome III, 394; Wheeler Gift 116a: "Celebrated work. It deals with electrics as well as magnetics, showing great versatility and encyclopaedic knowledge. He controverts Gilbert's theories in magnetism and those of Kepler in astronomy."
