Abstract
MAY I ask Dr. Joly whether Newton himself did not point out that a graduated tension excited by matter in a continuous inextensible medium, of an intensity proportional to the mass and the inverse distance, would account for gravitation; and whether he did not refrain from further elaborating this idea because there seemed at that time no adequate way of explaining the existence of such a tension?
