Peter Rollos I

Title page of the second edition (1628) of William Gilbert's Tractatus sive physiologia nova de magnete, magneticisque corporibus et magno magnete tellure ... (Stettin: typis Gotzianis; sumptibus Ioh. Hallervordij). William Gilbert (1544-1603) was a pioneering natural philosopher, physicist and physician, whose experimental studies were greatly admired by the founder Fellows of the Royal Society. De Magnete was his most important work; first published in 1600, it sets out Gilbert's findings that the Earth is a large magnetic sphere, with an iron centre, and that compass needles point to the north magnetic pole.

Original: engraving. 1628
