sideng the increasing attention which has lately been given

this and other countries.
One object of the work will be to excite and encourage
spirit of inquiry, and assis in such investigations may
tend settle the following among other similar queslons
l. That the magnetic forces only pervade all matter, but
that every living being has peculiarly magnetic nature.
@ That these forces the of motion and sensation
