One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible. Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism working first in the Civil War with union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian commission.

1959S13319Amsterdam:: Annals of Physics 1959. 1959. Offprint. Original wrappers. Very good. "The energy dependence of scattering and reaction cross sections at the threshold of a new channel with Coulomb forces is investigated. In the case of opposite charges an anomaly is found in which the average over the Coulomb bound state resonances below the threshold energy is discontinuously different from the limit from above. The resolution and precision necessary however make it very difficult to measure the phenomenon." :: abstract.

Second Jesuit edition emended and corrected based on the text of the third London edition of the Principia. This version is valued for its excellent annotations and copious commentary which is nearly the same length as the Principia itself. It contains Newton's Dedication to the Royal Society; Prefaces to the first second and third editions and Roger Cotes's Preface. In addition the Jesuits' edition of the Principia is prized for the inclusion of the important treatises on the theory of the tides: Daniel Bernoulli's Traite sur le Flux et Reflux de la Mer Colin MacLaurin's De Causa Physica Fluxus et Refluxus Maris and Leonardo Euler's Inquisitio Physica in causam Fluxus ac Refluxus Maris. These three works gained the prize given by the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1724 for resolving tidal problems relating to the theory of gravity. They represent the most significant discovery concerning tidal mechanics between the publication of the Principia and the discoveries of Laplace. REFERENCES: Babson 31; Gray 14; Wallis 14.
