'This work, which is important for the history of astronomy, is perhaps the most curious of Kircher's publications. 

 The discussion whether the water, which the author asserts to be in the planet Ventis, may he uned for baptism [which 

 would have tickled Father Tyrrell, ejusdem Societatv^'jt *nd some other extraordinary things of a similar nature, have ren- 

 dered the possession of the book interesting to collectors.'— Lit/i Catalogue. Needless to say, the author rejects the 

 CoperLican system, but adopts that of Tycho Brahe.

 on the magnetic needle, numerous experiments, includim; one ascertaining the carrying power of magnets (now being used 

 in practice for lifting the heaviest castings), the first use^of the term 'electro-magnetism,' and a table of places with their 

 declination.
