Paper, 'Preliminary note on a theory of magnetism based upon new experimental researches' by D E [David Edward] Hughes

Description

Hughes writes: 'In the year 1879 I communicated to the Royal Society a paper “On an Induction Currents Balance and Experimental Researches made therewith.” I continued my researches into the molecular construction of metallic bodies, and communicated the results then obtained in three separate papers bearing upon molecular magnetism. To investigate the molecular construction of magnets required again special forms of apparatus, and I have since been engaged upon these, and the researches which they have enabled me to follow.'
