Page 125 - Upon comparing the observations with each other, it was discovered that in both the fore-mentioned stars, the apparent difference of declination from the maxima was always nearly proportional to the versed sine of the sun's distance from the equinoctial points. This was an inducement to think that the cause, whatever it was, had some relation to the sun's situation with respect to those points.
Page 160 - If two similar mediums are separated from each other by a space terminated on each side by parallel planes ; and a body in its transit through this space, is attracted or impelled perpendicularly towards either medium, and is not agitated or hindered by any other force; and the attraction is every where the same at equal distances from either plane, taken towards the same side of the plane; prove that the velocity of the body before incidence is to its velocity after emergence as the sine of emergence...
