Physical description

Note

"Prolusio ad lectorem" signed: S. W.; attributed to Samuel Ward of Cambridge; also attributed to Samuel Ward of Ipswich.

Note

ESTC states that it is not in fact by Samuel Ward of Ipswich (cf. STC 25030), but attributed instead to Samuel Ward of Cambridge by STC, the British Library General Catalogue and other sources. However, this reattribution can be called into question, with Samuel Ward of Ipswich bequeathing a collection of lodestones in his will and probable confusion between the two being caused by both of them being at Sidney College, Cambridge at the same time (cf. DNB and Alumni Cantabrigenses).

Note

"novVs verVs ..." is a chronogram.

Note

The engraved frontispiece (plate) has caption: Magnetica magnalia.
