Abstract
MUCH attention has been devoted in recent years to theories of magnetism, and an interesting survey of the position of the subject is given in the report of a committee of the U.S. National Research Council issued by the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, in August last (vol. 3, part 3). It is difficult in a descriptive article of moderate length to present judicially the various views which have been advanced, but an attempt will here be made to do this, using the report referred to as a basis, and supplementing it with accounts of one or two advances not recorded therein.
