On The GREW. This was Vieu of London, Vol.
II, p. 664 sq.Vieu of London, Vol. II, p. 687ieu of London, Vol. II, p. 666a refers to a great round figure which represents
a table with thirty-two small holes in its circumference, c,
in which there are placed magnetic needles, these being covered with glasses like
other compasses. In the middle a round hole had been cut, and in this was placed a
spherically cut loadstone, 6, the two poles of which are
marked with a cross, d. After this stone had been set in
position with its north pole, all the needles standing round revolved towards e along the lines f and e. The dots round the loadstone represent filings, m, which had been thinly sprinkled about; and these range
themselves neatly in accurate semi-circles when one knocks underneath the table, so
that they move and raise themselves. Straight lines radiated from either pole; but
the nearer it was to the sides, the better was the semi-circle formed—better,
indeed, than it is here represented. If one then altered the stone with the poles,
setting them for example by the line gh, having been formerly
on that from ef, and knocked again on the table, the
semicircle and figures made by the filings altered their position and lay in the
former order with lines due north and south along the line gh, which was all prodigiously curious.Vieu of London, Vol. II, Vieu of London, p. 666, n. 3
