Extract

A box Chronometer having lately come into my possession, exhibiting remarkable proofs of strong and active Magnetism, I was induced to examine it particularly, and to ascertain the intensities of its different parts, by means of an apparatus resembling that employed by Coulomb, and which was capable, from its very delicate construction, of indicating the existence of the minutest traces of attraction.
