Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an account of the magnetic observations and astronomical determinations made as part of a scientific expedition aboard the U.S. ironclad Monadnock during its 1865-1866 cruise from Philadelphia to San Francisco. The author was responsible for making these observations and calculations, and in this volume, he details the methods used, the data collected, and the results obtained. These observations provided valuable information about the Earth's magnetic field and the behavior of compasses on iron ships, which was crucial for navigation and ship design in the age of sail. The book also includes observations on terrestrial magnetism and the magnetism of the ship itself, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding the state of magnetic science and its practical applications during the mid-19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
