Discussion of the Magnetic and Meteorological Observations, Part 1: Made at the Girard College Observatory, Philadelphia, in 1840-1845 (1859)

""Discussion of the Magnetic and Meteorological Observations, Part 1"" is a scientific book written by Alexander Dallas Bache. The book is a detailed account of the magnetic and meteorological observations made at the Girard College Observatory in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1845. Bache, who was a renowned American physicist and geophysicist, was the director of the observatory during this time and played a key role in the development of magnetic and meteorological sciences in the United States. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a specific aspect of the observations made during this period. The first section provides an overview of the instruments used in the observations, while the subsequent sections discuss the data collected on magnetic declination, magnetic intensity, and meteorological conditions. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and scholars interested in the history of magnetic and meteorological sciences, as well as those interested in the development of scientific research in the United States during the mid-19th century. Published in 1859, ""Discussion of the Magnetic and Meteorological Observations, Part 1"" remains an important contribution to the field of geophysics and a testament to Bache's scientific legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
