Publisher's Synopsis

The Journal Of A Voyage To Australia And Round The World For Magnetical Research (1859) by William Scoresby is a detailed account of his journey to Australia and his study of magnetic fields. Scoresby was a British scientist and Arctic explorer who was fascinated by the Earth's magnetic field and its effects on navigation. In this book, he documents his observations and experiments during his voyage, including his interactions with the indigenous people of Australia and his visits to various ports around the world. Scoresby's journal provides a unique insight into the scientific methods and practices of the 19th century, as well as the cultural and geographical diversity of the places he visited. The book is a valuable resource for historians, scientists, and anyone interested in the history of exploration and scientific discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
