Paper, 'An odd kind of magnetick phenomenon' by W [William] Derham In this paper, Derham describes an experiment whereby he magnetised several wires, then touched the two ends of the wire together or bent the wires, resulting in demagnetising the wires altogether. A follow-up to this paper, where certain findings are recounted or corrected, is found at CLP/9i/61.
