Abstract
3363. Whilst using lines of force as a true, searching, and as yet, never-failing representative of the one form of power possessed by paramagnets, diamagnets, and electric currents,—and whilst endeavouring simultaneously to make the principle of representation a key to new phenomena, and subjecting the principle itself to rigid cross examination,—I have had occasion to examine the action of certain magnetic bodies in different media and at different temperatures; and as the results are true, and must, therefore, be valuable in any view of the cause of magnetic action, I have thought them worthy of presentation to the Royal Society. 3364. When an unmagnetized but magnetic body, placed in a magnetic field, is affected by the forces thrown upon it, and under their action sets , or takes up a definite position, the effect may depend upon its peculiar molecular condition, or upon its relation to the surrounding medium, or upon both conjointly, or upon one or both combined with temperature. Some of each of these conditions have been the objects of my investigations.
