About this book
Mary Somerville sets out to show that the physical sciences are linked parts of one study, taking her motto from Bacon: no natural phenomenon can be understood on its own. This is the ninth edition, of 1858, revised throughout. Its opening sections deal with gravitation and the form of celestial bodies, elliptical orbits, the disturbances of planetary motion, the satellites of Jupiter, and the theory of the Moon. She was already the author of Mechanism of the Heavens and Physical Geography, and she dedicated this edition to her children from Florence.
