29. "_History of Magnetical Discovery._"--In the _Gentleman's Magazine_
for April 1840, I find the following notice:
"Thomas Stephens Davies, Esq., Fellow of the Royal Societies of
London and Edinburgh, Professor of Mathematics in the Royal
Military Academy at Woolwich, and Author of the _History of
Magnetical Discovery_, &c. &c."
Being interested in all that concerns the late Mr. Davies, I shall feel
much obliged to any one who will state where I can find the _History_
here alluded to. I may add that I am acquainted with his papers on
"Terrestrial Magnetism," published in the London _Philosophical
Transactions_ for 1835-6; but since they do not much partake of the
character of "History," they can scarcely be the papers intended.
