Meteorological Essays (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Meteorological Essays

Arago's own magnetical observations, which occupied a large portion of his time and thoughts between the years 1820 and 1835. The deductions from these observations are now for the first time made public, and are due to MM. Barral and Thoman, who, at M. Arago's request, undertook the labour of their calculation.

The failure of M. Arago's health and sight having prevented him from revising the Essay on Terrestrial Magnetism as fully as he appears to have done some of the others, the Editor of this volume has added a few notes to particular passages which appeared to him to require some additional notice. An index to the Editor's notes will be found in page at the close of the general index.
