Remains unconvinced by RF's ideas on gravitating lunisolar action on the atmosphere.
Enjoyed reading the dialogues of Hermogenes and Hermione [JH's 'On Atoms']. Found William Higgins's book some years ago and it appeared the basis for John Dalton's views. Finds astronomy and geology the basis for Old Testament inspiration. How absurd is the modern notion of circuits.
Ideas respecting gravitating lunisolar action on the atmosphere—as apart from that of heat or other influence.
