...surface. For this purpose, he reasoned on his law of universal gravitation, which may be thus stated; ' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force varying inversely as the square of the distance.' Reasoning on this law, he calculated, from the effect... | |

The great Newton discovered and established the law of universal gravitation, " that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force varying inversely as the square of the distance :" by which is meant, that if a body be attracted by... | |

...planetary motions, the velocities of falling bodies, &c., would have frequent occasion to mention the fact that " every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional, &c. &c." But this would be extremely troublesome, and even difficult to introduce intelligibly.... | |
