Epoch-making book De Magnet e in 1600, the phenomena of the earth's magnetism were limited to the directive property of a magnetized needle towards the terrestrial poles and its variation therefrom in different places. The distinguished Cambridge graduate and phy- sician to Queen Elizabeth postulated the terrestrial globe to be a great magnet, and his important invention of the spherical loadstone, or ' terella ', as he named it, enabled him to imitate very closely the directive property of the... magnetic needle, especially the dip, and the cause of its variation from the equator to the poles.

C 18 CELESTIAL EJECTAMENTA As might have been expected, Gilbert's experi- mental demonstration of the terrestrial origin of the directive property of the magnetic needle was strongly opposed by the scholastic philosophers of his time, who supposed the seat of attraction to be the pole-star in Ursa Minor, and the cause of the variation was assigned by Cardan the mathematician to one of the stars in the tail of Ursa Major.
