...detailed in works on Physical Astronomy, that two particles of matter attract each other with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance. Suppose then a particle to be attracted by all the particles of a body; if we resolve...

...according to the law of Newton, which may be thus expressed: the attraction between two material particles is directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance* asunder. To illustrate this, we may take the case of two spheres which, owing to...
