	W. S. Gilbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gilbert's father, also named William, was a naval surgeon and he spent much of his youth touring Europe before settling down in London in 1849, later becoming a novelist in his own right, the most famous of his works being The Magic Mirror, the original edition of which was illustrated by his son.
		Gilbert's parents were distant and stern, and he did not have a particularly good relationship with either of them.
		Gilbert and Sullivan had many rifts in their career, partly caused by the fact that each saw himself allowing his work to be subjugated to the other's, and partly caused by the gap in their social status.

	BBC - History - William Gilbert (1544 - 1603)
		William Gilbert was born into a fairly wealthy family in Colchester, Essex.
		Gilbert's findings suggested that magnetism was the soul of the Earth, and that a perfectly spherical lodestone, when aligned with the Earth's poles, would spin on its axis, just as the Earth spins on its axis over a period of 24 hours.
		Gilbert was in fact debunking the traditional cosmologists' belief that the Earth was fixed at the centre of the universe, and he provided food for thought for Galileo, who eventually came up with the proposition that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

		While these questions occupied the schools, William Gilbert, fellow of St. John’s college, Cambridge, 1561, president of the royal college of physicians, 1600, was engaged in the laborious and systematic pursuit of experiments on magnetism which resulted in the publication of the first great English work of physical science, De Magnete, magneticisque corporibus (1600).
		Gilbert expressed himself as decidedly as did Bacon afterwards on the futility of expecting to arrive at knowledge of nature by mere speculation or by a few vague experiments.
		Gilbert has been called “the first real physicist and the first trustworthy methodical experimenter.” 10 He was also the founder of the theory of magnetism and electricity; and he gave the latter its name, vis electrica.
