Greenhill, Edinburgh - JDF has successfully obtained sparks from a natural magnet upon the principle of Michael Faraday's recent experiments. John Leslie and others have witnessed it and are 'perfectly satisfied'. JDF has been so absorbed in electro magnetical experiments that he has made hardly any progress with his report [Report upon the Recent Progress and Present State of Meteorology, drawn up at the Request of the BAAS, 1832]. How long should it be?
