 On which the comment may be that one who had studied celestial mechanics as much as the reviewer has studied the general course of transformations, might similarly have remarked that the formula — " bodies attract one another directly as their masses...

Suppose it had been explained to him that, according to Newton, bodies attract one another directly as their masses and inversely as the squares of their distances, and that the phenomena presented by the Solar System had been accounted for by him as conforming to... | |

...If anywhere there is a system of bodies attracting each other according to Newton's law — that is. directly as their masses and inversely as the squares of their distances from each other — then in such a system the different bodies — planets — will revolve around... | |
