New York and London, 1893 The translation De Magnete has been a task of no ordinary difficulty; it has bronght up problems innumerable, the solution of which has involved much laborious researchas the result was meant to be a clear and competent presentation of the author in idiomatic English, and not merely a substitution of English words for Latin. Nor would I have ventured to appear as the English interpreter of the great Gilbert, "father of the Magnetic philosophy," but for the hearty encouragement and very material aid, in translating and otherwise, extended by many literary and scientific friends, amongst whom must be especially mentioned Mr. Joseph Fitzgerald, Mr. E. McMillan, Mr. Joseph Wetzler, Dr. Joseph V. Livingstone, Hon. Park Benjamin, and Prof. Alfred H. Mayer. I am likewise indebted to Prof. Chas. Sanders Pierce, to Mr. Latimer Clark, F.R.S., to Dr. Isaac H. Hall, and to Dr. Charlton T. Lewis for valuable suggestions as to the general treatment of the work; and, in the word of the celebrated mathematician, Edward Wright, I doubt not that our united efforts "will find the heartiest approval among all intellectual men and children of the magnetic science." "The year 1600," observes the English historian Henry Hallam, "was the first in which England produced a remarkable work in Physical Science; but this was one sufficient to raise a lasting reputation for its author. Gilbert, a physician, in his treatise ou the Magnet, not only collected all the knowledge which others possessed on the subject, but became at once the father of experimental philosophy in this island; and, by a singular felicity and acuteness of genius, the founder of theories, which have been revived after a lapse of ages, and are almost received into the creed of Science. . . Gilbert was one of the earliest Copernicans-at least as to the rotation of the earthand, with his usual sagacity, inferred, before the invention of the telescope, that there are a multitude of fixed stars beyond the reach of our vision." While Dr. Whewell observes that "Gilbert's work contains all the fundamental facts of the science, so fully examined, indeed, that even at this day we have very little to add to them," Dr. Thomas Thomson says that De Magnete "is one of the finest examples of inductive philosophy that has ever been presented to the world." Poggendorff, from whose "Geschichte der Physik" (page 286) this is extracted, calls Gilbert "the Galileo of Magnetism." By Dr. Priestley he was named "the father of modern electricity." In an article written not long since, Mr. Conrad W. Cooke, of London, notes the high opinion of Gilbert's work entertained-more particularly by Nathaniel Carpenter, William Barlowe, Francis Bacon, Galileo, and Humboldt, and he adds: "There is abundant testimony extant that this De Magnete of Gilbert's produced a profound sensation, not only in this country but throughout the then civilized world; and it is a singularly curious fact that the brilliancy of a reputation so great and so original should have been allowed in subsequent generations to have been lost sight of."-Preface. 1165 GORDON (J.
