Page 531 - The third sub-case remains, namely, that the power is always existing around the sun and through infinite space, whether secondary bodies be there to be acted upon by gravitation or not : and not only around the sun, but around every particle of matter which has existence.

Moreover, gravitation is not assumed to be a dual power, and in them only as yet have such removals been observed by experiment or conceived by the mind. The second sub-case, or that of a new or another form of power, is also one which has never been imagined by others, in association with the theory of gravity. I made some endeavours, experimentally, to connect gravity with electricity, having this very object in view (Phil.
Page 460 - ... up in the sun a power having no previous existence. As respects gravity, the earth must be considered as inert, previously, as the sun ; and can have no more inducing or affecting power over the sun than the sun over it : both are assumed to be without power in the beginning of the case ; — how then can that power arise by their mere approximation or co-existence ?
