Synopsis

Excerpt from The Phenomena and Order of the Solar System

Looking far into past time, and to those countries where western thought was cradled, we find precise and interest ing conceptions of the chief motions of the stars 3 and as man is impelled by a wholesome necessity of his nature, to collect, classify, and systematize the objects of his thoughts, - the period of the acquisition of these concep tions was rapidly followed by an epoch of theory, giving birth to elaborate schemes of the Heavens, whioh all bore such emphatic marks of the infancy of reflection, as inva riably characterize our first endeavors to comprehend any portion of Nature. Accordingly, this chapter must cone sist of two sections - the first, unfolding the facts known to the ancients 3 and the second the system or scheme into which these were immediately wrought up.
