  <dc:title>Unpublished paper, 'Faits nouveaux de magnétisme terrestre; nouvelle polarité, et direction spontanée de tous les corps vers un nouveau meridien nord-est-sud-ouest. Variations de l'intensité magnétique par l'action du système planétaire' [New facts of terrestrial magnetism; new polarity, and spontaneous direction of all bodies towards a new north-east-south-west meridian. Variations of magnetic intensity by the action of the planetary system] by Victor Leforestier</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Leforestier introduces the eight key subjects of his paper on terrestrial magnetism: spontaneous direction, polarity, attraction and repulsion, magnetic moment, diurnal variation, monthly periodic variations, reversal of polarity, and magnetic intensity of the globe. He describes an experiment involving a magnetic needle, and shares observations on the connection between the Moon and terrestrial magnetism.
