Mr. De Morgan has said (Comp. to Brit. Alm. 1836, p. 18) that
astronomy does not supply any argument for the earth’s motion
which is absolutely and demonstrably conclusive, till we come to the
Aberration of Light. But we may now venture to say that the
experiments of M. Foucault prove the diurnal motion of the Earth in
the most conclusive manner, by palpable and broad effects, if we
accept the doctrines of the Science of Mechanics: while Aberration
proves the annual motion, if we suppose that we can observe the
places of the fixed stars to the accuracy of a few seconds; and if we
accept, in addition to the doctrines of Mechanics, the doctrine of the
motion of light with a certain great velocity.
CHAPTER III.
Sequel to Copernicus.
English Copernicans.
Mr. Joseph Hunter also has brought to notice 29 the claims of Field,
whom he designates as the Proto-Copernican of England. He quotes
the Address to the Reader prefixed to his first Ephemeris, and dated
May 31, 1556, in which he says that, since abler men decline the
task, “I have therefore published this Ephemeris of the year 1557,
following in it as my authorities, N. Copernicus and Erasmus
Reinhold, whose writings are established and founded on true,
certain, and authentic demonstrations.” I conceive that this passage,
however, only shows that Field had adopted the Copernican scheme
as a basis for the calculation of Ephemerides; which, as Mr. De
Morgan has remarked, is a very different thing from accepting it as a
physical truth. Field, in this same address, makes mention of the
errors “illius turbæ quæ Alphonsi utitur hypothesi;” but the word
hypothesis is still indecisive.
29 Ast. Soc. Notices, vol. iii. p. 3 (1833).
As evidence that Field was regarded in his own day as a man who
528 had rendered good service to science, Mr. Hunter notices that, in
1558, the Heralds granted to him the right of using, with his arms,
the crest or additional device of a red right arm issuing from the
clouds, and presenting a golden armillary sphere.
Giordano Bruno.
We may however fully agree with Mr. De Morgan; that the whole of
what he has said on this subject, when put together, does not justify
Hume’s assertion that he rejected the Copernican system “with the
most positive disdain.”
Mr. De Morgan, in order to balance the Copernican argument
derived from the immense velocity of the stars in their diurnal
velocity on the other supposition, has reminded us that those who
reject this great velocity as improbable, accept without scruple the
greater velocity of light. It is curious that Bacon also has made this
comparison, though using it for a different purpose; namely, to show
that the transmission of the visual impression may be instantaneous.
In Aphorism xlvi. of Book ii. of the Novum Organon he is speaking of
what he calls Instantiæ curriculi, or Instantiæ ad aquam, which we
may call Instances by the clock: and he says that the great velocity
of the diurnal sphere makes the marvellous velocity of the rays of
light more credible.
Kepler persecuted.
Schiller, in his History of the Thirty Years’ War, says that when
Ferdinand of Austria succeeded to the Archduchy of Stiria, and
found a great number of Protestants among his subjects, he
suppressed their public worship without cruelty and almost without
noise. But it appears now that the Protestants were treated with
great severity. Kepler held a professorship in Stiria, and had married,
in 1507, Barbara Müller, who had landed property in that province.
On the 11th of June, 1598, he writes to his friend Mæstlin that the
arrival of the Prince out of Italy is looked forwards to with terror. In
December he writes that the Protestants had irritated the Catholics
by attacks from the pulpit and by caricatures; that hereupon the
Prince, at the prayer of the Estates, had declared the Letter of
License granted by his father to be forfeited, and had ordered all the
Evangelical Teachers to leave the country on pain of death. They
went to the frontiers of Hungary and Croatia; but after a month,
Kepler was allowed to return, on condition of keeping quiet. His
discoveries appear to have operated in his favor. But the next year
he found his situation in Stiria intolerable, and longed to return to his
native country of Würtemberg, and to find some position there. This
he did not obtain. He wrote a circular letter to his Brother
Protestants, to give them consolation and courage; and this was held
to be a violation of the conditions on which his residence was
tolerated. Fortunately, at this time he was invited to join Tycho Brahe,
who had also been driven from his native country, and was living at
Prague. The two astronomers worked together under the patronage
of the Emperor Rudolph II.; and when Tycho died in 1601, Kepler
became the Imperial Mathematicus.
MECHANICS.
CHAPTER III.
I N the text, page 372, I have stated that Lagrange, near the end of
his life, expressed his sorrow that the methods of approximation
employed in Physical Astronomy rested on arbitrary processes, and
not on any insight into the results of mechanical action. From the
recent biography of Gauss, the greatest physical mathematician of
modern times, we learn that he congratulated himself on having
escaped this error. He remarked 35 that many of the most celebrated
mathematicians, Euler very often, Lagrange sometimes, had trusted
too much to the symbolical calculation of their problems, and would
not have been able to give an account of the meaning of each
successive step of their investigation. He said that he himself, on the
other hand, could assert that at every step which he took, he always
had the aim and purpose of his operations before his eyes without
ever turning aside from the way. The same, he remarked, might be
said of Newton.
