Author Description

Excerpt from The Doctrine of a Simple Universe While it is claimed that our system accounts for all the facts of physical nature the author relies especially for demonstration upon its explanation of chemical facts. Chemistry deals with the relation of atoms to each other, and, since atoms are definite, specialized bodies and sys tems, the modes of their mutual relation and force condi tions may be traced out to a definite conclusion. It is the intention to follow this essay with a special treatise on chemistry in its relation to our system. The very oblate spheroidical atom, with its bipolar affinities and combination by polarities will be presented as the key note of the system. Upon this basis for chemistry we will challenge the analysis and criticism of chemists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
