Excerpt from Magnetical Investigations, Vol. 2: Comprising Investigations Concerning the Laws or Principles Affecting the Power of Magnetic Steel Plates or Bars in Combination, as Well as Singly, Under Various Conditions as to Mass, Hardness, Quality, Form, Etc The experiments described in this second Part of Magnetical Investigations, were, to a very considerable extent, made some years ago. They have been carried forward, however, at intervals, as the Author's arduous professional duties would admit, to the present time; and the publication of the results obtained has been deferred until all the objects of inquiry, belonging to the de partment of experimental research, which were originally contemplated, or have been suggested in the progress of the Investigations, have been completed.
