Yet all that he gave us that is true is just as valuable as if he ha...d never advo- cated theories which have since been discarded. From be- fore his time to the present, many of the theories have been, are still, and no doubt will remain, speculative. Theories which have been advanced to account for the various movements of the planets and planetary substances have not been accepted as harmonizing entirely with nat- ural forces, and so the cause of their movements has been only partially explained. The law of attraction and gravi- tation, as set forth by authors generally, is almost univers- ally accepted as being correct ; but a plausible theory show- ing the development of the repelling force and its manner of counter-balancing the planetary bodies and of rotating them on their axes and around the Sun, also the satellites around their primaries, etc.
