The Solar Magnet We will examine these results, and in doing so, take those of the element of declination—one answering for all. The Philosophy of the Weather And a Guide to Its Changes The most favourable times are at the end of June and at the end of December, when the sun's declination is almost stationary. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" Now in declination such irregular motion is also noticed, when the needle dips beyond the proper point or when sometimes it does not reach its mark. On the magnet, magnetick bodies also, and on the great magnet the earth a new physiology, demonstrated by many arguments & experiments Dr. Clawbonny was more fortunate, and at a little distance from there he found a declination of 90°.

The Solar Magnet With us the magnetic declination is a minimum at about eight o’clock in the morning, and is greatest at two o’clock in the afternoon. The Philosophy of the Weather And a Guide to Its Changes Throughout the remainder of the year the change of declination is so slow that we may safely neglect it. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" There is therefore a variation of declination, being the arc of a magnetick meridian between the true and apparent declination. On the magnet, magnetick bodies also, and on the great magnet the earth a new physiology, demonstrated by many arguments & experiments More conclusive evidence therefore could scarcely exist that these were the hours intended to be recorded by Chaucer, and that the sun's declination, designed by him, was somewhere about thirteen degrees and a half North.

The Solar Magnet Subtracting the declination at eight o’clock from that at two o’clock, we obtain the magnitude of the diurnal motion. The Philosophy of the Weather And a Guide to Its Changes To compare roughly the accuracy of the fixed and the portable dials, let us take a mean position in Great Britain, say 54� lat., and a mean declination when the sun is in the equator. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 3 "Destructors" to "Diameter" For as variation is a deviation of the direction, so also, owing to the same cause, there is some error of declination, though often very slight.
