Text of the page (random words):
that the magnetic virtue of the earth in some way determines the direction of the earth s axis the rate of its diurnal rotation and that of the revolution of the moon about it 13 gilbert died in 1603 and in his posthumous work de mundo nostro sublunari philosophia nova 1631 we have already a more distinct statement of the attraction of one body by another 14 the force which emanates from the moon reaches to the earth and in like manner the magnetic virtue of the earth pervades the region of the moon both correspond and conspire by the joint action of both according to a proportion and conformity of motions but the earth has more effect in consequence of its superior mass the earth attracts and repels the moon and the moon within certain limits the earth not so as to make the bodies come together as magnetic bodies do but so that they may go on in a continuous course though this phraseology is capable of representing a good deal of the truth it does not appear to have been connected with any very definite notions of mechanical action in detail 15 gilbert died on 30 november 1603 in london his cause of death is thought to have been the bubonic plague 16 17 gilbert was buried in his home town in holy trinity church colchester his marble wall monument can still be seen in this saxon church now deconsecrated and used as a café and market 18 commentary on gilbert edit francis bacon never accepted copernican heliocentrism and was critical of gilbert s philosophical work in support of the diurnal motion of earth bacon s criticism includes the following two statements the first was repeated in three of his works namely in the advancement of learning 1605 novum organum 1620 and de augmentis 1623 the more severe second statement is from history of heavy and light bodies published after bacon s death 19 the alchemists have made a philosophy out of a few experiments of the furnace and gilbert our countryman hath made a philosophy out of observations of the lodestone gilbert has himself become a magnet that is he has ascribed too many things to that force and built a ship out of a shell thomas thomson writes in his history of the royal society 1812 20 the magnetic laws were first generalized and explained by dr gilbert whose book on magnetism published in 1600 is one of the finest examples of inductive philosophy that has ever been presented to the world it is the more remarkable because it preceded the novum organum of bacon in which the inductive method of philosophizing was first explained william whewell writes in his history of the inductive sciences 1837 1859 21 gilbert repeatedly asserts the paramount value of experiments he himself no doubt acted up to his own precepts for his work contains all the fundamental facts of the science of magnetism so fully examined indeed that even at this day we have little to add to them historian henry hallam wrote of gilbert in his introduction to the literature of europe in the fifteenth sixteenth and seventeenth centuries 1848 22 the year 1600 was the first in which england produced a remarkable work in physical science but this was one sufficient to raise a lasting reputation to its author gilbert a physician in his latin treatise on the magnet not only collected all the knowledge which others had possessed on that 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 the lapse of ages and are almost universally received into the creed of the science the magnetism of the earth itself his own original hypothesis nova illa nostra et inaudita de tellure sententia our new and unprecedented view of the planet was by no means one of those vague conjectures that are sometimes unduly applauded he relied on the analogy of terrestrial phenomena to those exhibited by what he calls a terrella or artificial spherical magnet gilbert was also one of our earliest copernicans at least as to the rotation of the earth and 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 walter william bryant of the royal observatory greenwich wrote in his book kepler 1920 when gilbert of colchester in his new philosophy founded on his researches in magnetism was dealing with tides he did not suggest that the moon attracted the water but that subterranean spirits and humors rising in sympathy with the moon cause the sea also to rise and flow to the shores and up rivers it appears that an idea presented in some such way as this was more readily received than a plain statement this so called philosophical method was in fact very generally applied and kepler who shared galileo s admiration for gilbert s work adopted it in his own attempt to extend the idea of magnetic attraction to the planets 23 bibliography edit 1893 copy of on the
