...things may be derivative. He can perhaps assign reasons which render it prohable that it is derivative. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that...diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Under this law a stone falls to the ground and is warmed by the shock ; meteors plunge into the atmosphere... | |

...is identical with the law itself, and not something different from it. Thus, for example, the fact that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a certain force, is the law of gravity. The observance is the law, and the law is the observance. There... | |

According to the law of gravity, for instance, every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as its mass> and inversely as the square of its distance from the attracted particle.... | |
