THE NEWTONIANS ATTACKED.

From A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume I by Augustus De Morgan.

Le vrai systeme de physique generale de M. Isaac Newton expose et analyse en parallele avec celui de Descartes. By Louis Castel[318] [Jesuit and F.R.S.] Paris, 1743, 4to.

This is an elaborate correction of Newton's followers, and of Newton himself, who it seems did not give his own views with perfect fidelity. Father Castel, for instance, assures us that Newton placed the sun _at rest_ in the center of the system. Newton left the sun to arrange that matter with the planets and the rest of the universe. In this volume of 500 pages there is right and wrong, both clever.
