About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1851 Excerpt: ...of equalizing all the rest, therefore, the first proportion as above given being true, a second proportion follows, which is strictly geometrical in its character, and which makes the whole definite. It is as follows: The square of the diameter of the moon is to the square of the diameter of the earth, as the moon's time round the earth, is to the earth's time round the sun, --the time here meant being circular time, as before. The calculations showing the method and the result of these proportions, will be found in prop. It. and v. which follow in this chapter. The true and primary ratio of circumference to diameter of all circles, as shown by the twelve propositions of chapter ii., is 20612 parts of circumference to 6561 parts of diameter; and by the solution of the foregoing problem it is shown, that the relative motion of three gravitating bodies, as of the moon, the earth and the sun, is as four to three, or one and one-third of one primary circumference. With the solution of these two problems, and keeping in mind the preliminary remarks made at the commencement of this chapter, we are prepared on simple, original, and mechanical principles, to reduce to numbers, the great circles performed by the revolution of these gravitating bodies. The first, and to us relatively, the primary orbit of nature, which is fulfilled by these revolving bodies, is a sidereal lunation, or the passage of the moon round the earth from opposite a fixed star to opposite that fixed star again, --first because the motion is directly around our earth, and secondly, because the fixed star so-called, has the least apparent or to us relative motion, of all the heavenly bodies; therefore, PROPOSITION H. The moorCs orbit (or moon's time) round the earth in a sidereal lunation, over th.
