    "The similarity of action, almost amounting to identity, between common magnets and either electro-magnets or volta-electric currents, is strikingly in accordance with and confirmatory of M. Ampere’s theory, and furnishes powerful reasons for believing that the action is the same in both cases; […] I propose to call the agency thus exerted by ordinary magnets, magneto-electric or magnelectric induction."
