A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The phenomena and operations of the material world appear to be dependent on certain properties in the particles or masses of matter which enable them to exercise a reciprocal influence. Without this reciprocal action, which I would prefer to call reaction, every particle or mass would be as if no other existed, and could itself have no efficient existence. 2. The reciprocal action or reaction, thus inferred to exist, may be distinguished as taking place between masses, between a mass and particles, and between particles only. 3. Reaction between masses} is sublimely exemplified in the solar system, by that attraction between the sun and planets, by which they are made to revolve in their orbits. 4. Reaction between a mass and particles is exemplified by the reflection, refraction, and polarization of light. 5. Reaction between particles is exemplified by a fire, or the explosion of gunpowder. Definition of Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and Physiology. 6. Natural Philosophy, in its most extensive sense, treats of physical reaction generally. In its more limited and In Mechanics, action is said to produce reaction; but in the case of an innate property, which mutually causes different portions of matter to be self attractive, or repellent, it is impossible to distinguish the agent from the reagent. From our first acquaintance with any bodies so situated, they may be said mutually to react, or to exercise reaction. tB ythe word mass, I mean a congeries of particles capable of producing some effect collectively, to which severally they would be incompetent.
