This annual lecture, commemorating Edmond Halley, a great son of Oxford, is devoted to astronomy and terrestrial magnetism. My subject to‐day is Halley's geomagnetic work considered in its historical setting, but I will preface this by a few remarks on Halley as poet—a seldom remembered aspect of his remarkable versatility.Halley's Latin verses
