Observations In Magnetism And Meteorology Made At Makerstoun In Scotland, In The Observatory Of Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane, From 1847 To 1855 (1860)

Observations in Magnetism and Meteorology is a book written by Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane, a renowned Scottish astronomer, between 1847 and 1855. The book is a compilation of observations made at Makerstoun, a small village in Scotland, in the observatory of Sir Brisbane. The book is divided into two parts, the first part dealing with magnetism and the second part dealing with meteorology. In the first part, Sir Brisbane discusses his experiments and observations on the magnetic properties of the earth, the variations in the magnetic field, and the effects of solar activity on the earth's magnetic field. In the second part, he discusses his observations on the weather patterns, atmospheric pressure, and the relationship between weather and magnetism. The book is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in the fields of magnetism and meteorology, and it provides insight into the observations and experiments conducted by one of the most prominent astronomers of the 19th century. The book was first published in 1860 and remains an important reference work in the fields of magnetism and meteorology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
