Le vrai systeme de physique generale de M. Isaac Newton expose et
analyse en parallele avec celui de Descartes. By Louis Castel[318]

This is an elaborate correction of Newton's followers, and of Newton

matter with the planets and the rest of the universe. In this volume of 500
pages there is right and wrong, both clever.
