"The chemical essay treats of what is certainly the most fundamental question in physical philosophy – namely the question as to whether material atoms are indestructible or subject to natural transmutations; but those on 'Vis Inertiae and Momentum' on 'Ocean Currents' and on 'The Spinning-Top' directly bear on and explain the action of astral gravitation which is the question of most immediate practical importance in natural philosophy. The views advocated in these essays are a natural development of the Newtonian laws of gravitation." – Preface. Jordan also adds a chapter on Edmond Halley.
