Page 98 - And since the vibrations which make blue and violet are supposed shorter than those which make red and yellow, they must be reflected at a less thickness of the plate ; which is sufficient to explicate all the ordinary phenomena of those plates or bubbles, and also of all natural bodies whose parts are like so many fragments of such plates. These seem to be most plain, genuine, and necessary conditions of this hypothesis.

The whole is enclosed in a glass globe, which is then exhausted to the highest attainable point and hermetically sealed.
Page 97 - That fundamental supposition is, that the parts of bodies, when briskly agitated. do excite vibrations in the ether, which are propagated every way from those bodies in straight lines, and cause a sensation of light by beating and dashing against the bottom of the eye, something after the manner that vibrations in the air cause a sensation of sound by beating against the organs of hearing.
