This is a translation of William Gilbert's groundbreaking work, ""De Magnete, Magneticisque Corporibus, et de Magno Magnete Tellure; Physiologia Nova, Plurimis Argumentis & Experimentis Demonstrata,"" originally published in 1600. Translated by P. Fleury Mottelay, this edition makes Gilbert's pivotal research accessible to a wider audience.

""On the Loadstone and Magnetic Bodies, and on the Great Magnet the Earth"" presents Gilbert's revolutionary ideas about magnetism and electricity, establishing him as one of the founders of modern science. Through meticulous experiments and observations, Gilbert demonstrated that the Earth itself is a giant magnet, a concept that challenged prevailing scientific thought and paved the way for future discoveries in physics and astronomy.

This volume offers invaluable insights into the history of science, the development of experimental methods, and the intellectual climate of the early modern period. It remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the history of physics, the scientific revolution, and the life and work of William Gilbert.
