...Sir Isaac Newton has supposed an aetherial medium in his Treatise of Optics; this medium is by him supposed to be " rarest at the body of the Sun, but...impel bodies from the denser parts " of the medium towards the raw.'* By the many chemical experiments performed by oxydation, it appears to me, that... | |
