John Munro
261
Displaced
by
the
Hanoverian
Government
for
his
liberal
opinions
in
politics
Weber
travelled
for
a
time,
visiting
England,
among
other
countries,
and
became
professor
of
physics
in
Leipsic
from
1843
to
1849,
when
he
was
reinstalled
at
Gottingen.
One
of
his
most
important
works
was
the
ATLAS
DES
ERDMAGNETISMUS,
a
series
of
magnetic
maps,
and
it
was
chiefly
through
his
efforts
that
magnetic
observatories
were
instituted.
He
studied
magnetism
with
Gauss,
and
in
1864
published
his
'Electrodynamic
Proportional
Measures'
containing
a
system
of
absolute
measurements
for
electric
currents,
which
forms
the
basis
of
those
in
use.
Weber
died
at
Gottingen
on
June
23,
1891.
