Not illustrated. 1851 Excerpt: ...bodies excepting metals; and electricity is arrested by most non-metallic bodies, and is indeed only well conducted by metals, charcoal, and certain liquids. Odyle may be, to a certain extent, accumulated in a substance, but is slowly dissipated again. The body charged with it retains the charge longer than does one charged with electricity. Like electricity and magnetism, odyle has a strong tendency to a polar distribution. Thus, in magnets, in crystals, and in the human body, it is polar, and the opposite poles exhibit distinct modifications. In bodies confusedly crystallised, and in amorphous bodies, the polar arrangement cannot be observed. Like heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, odyle tends to a state of equilibrium, and its external manifestations seem to depend chiefly on the disturbance of this equilibrium. Just as a hot body, radiating more heat than it receives, soon comes to an equilibrium of temperature with the surrounding bodies, so does a body, odylically excited or charged, tend to, and ultimately attain, an equilibrium of odylic force with the surrounding bodies. And just as ferromagnetism is found polar and active in a magnet, which is in a certain ferro-magnetic state, a state we may call a peculiar disturbance of equilibrium in the ferro-magnetic force; so, in a body odylically polar, and odylically active, such as a magnet, a crystal, or the human body, we may suppose a like peculiar arrangement or distribution of the odylic force, the results only of which, and not its precise nature, are known to us. Such is a very brief and popular sketch of the nature of that influence to which I consider we must, in the present state of our knowledge, refer the phenomena of Animal Magnetism. But while I have endeavored to show that odyle is t...
