One is by Prof. A. S. Eddington, Space, Time and Gravitation (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1920). The other, somewhat more of a philosophical work, is Prof. Moritz Schlick's Space and Time in Contemporary Physics (Oxford Univ. Press, 1920). Though published as early as 1897, Bertrand Russell's An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1897) contains a fine account of non-Euclidean geom- etry. APPENDIX APPENDIX NOTE 1 (page 21) "On this earth there is indeed a tiny corner of the ...universe accessible to other senses [than the sense of sight] : but feeling and taste act only at those minute distances which separate particles of matter when 'in contact:* smell ranges over, at the utmost, a mile or two, and the greatest distance which sound is ever known to have traveled (when Krakatoa exploded in 1883) is but a few thousand miles a mere fraction of the earth's girdle. " Prof. H. H. Turner of Oxford, NOTE 2 (page 27) Huyghens and Leibnitz both objected to Newton's inverse square law because it postulated "action at a distance, " for example, the attractive force of the sun and the earth.
