Astral Gravitation. Jordan.
Essays in illustration of the action of Astral Gravitation in Natural Phenomena.

the force whose action it opposes. . . . Newton excluded this force . . . but, I say it
has effective action m every detail of terrestrial phenomena.” Such is the author’s
definition of the power in Nature whose effects he proceeds to trace.
