A New System Explanatory Of Terrestrial Phenomena, &C.
The Apex of the Equilateral Triangle , as above stated , impinges on a point within the Curve of the Circumference of the Circle ( Fig . 7 ); but the vertex of the Magnetic Isoceles rests in the bisection of the Co-tangent of 45 ° , ( which is equal to the Tangent of the same Angle ) , beyond the line of the Circumference ; and we have also seen , that in the Apex of the former , or in tbe 60 th degree of the Circle , is located
the Magnetic Pole . Now , a Line passing from Co-tangent to Cotangent of 45 ° , being equal to the Diameter of the Circle , this Line becomes equal to the Axis of the Sphere ; and , consequently , extends to the utmost limits which matter embraces . The Material Magnet , or Loadstone , both natural and artificial , in common with all other Bodies , is bounded by the Tangential limit ; ancl hence , while the summit of
the Equilateral , in the Curve of tbe Circumference , constitutes the Polar , or invisible Magnetic point ; the extremity of the Isoceles Triangle in the Centre of the Co-tangent , is the visible material , —liuphidian , * or Needle point , and extremity of the Axis of the Magnetic Mass . Thus the Apex of the Isoceles , in the Tangent , or Co-tangent , of 45 " , forms the termination in matter of the Grand , and Divine , Magnetic System , ruling , upholding , regulating , and preserving the Universe . the Power returning from thence , and re-entering regions of space , both fathomless

The union of the Radius with the Tangent of 45 ° , each being ofthe same dimensions , constitutes the half of a Square ; and the Diameter of the Square , or the Hypothenuse subtending the Right Angle , contained by the Semi-diameter and the Tangent , is proved by the Phenomena observed in the properties of the Natural Magnet , to be the Magnetic
