RICHMOND, NOVEMBER 20. 1810
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQVIIIKR.
Sir,
Although mathematical and philosophical
•equities, may not gratify the majority of
News .paper readers, yet I believe there are
many of your Subscribers, to whom essays
©t this description are most acceptable. It
was through the medium of the Enquirer,
that 1 first communicated to the pu die mv
ideas of the consequences arising from the
rotary motion of the earth. These wete
afterwards enlarged and published at you;
office in- a small volume, entitled “ A nem
'I'/ieory of.i/ie north's diurnal rotation."
In ordet tnjnbtain accur- t informati m is to
t.he correctness-of the Data upon which the
T heory was founded. I addressed a circular
letter, not only to the most eminent mathe
matician-. m thiscountry. but also in Europe ;
requesting their opinions of the principle
which I had adopted. Several of these Gen*
tlemen in the United States have favored
mt with thrir observations, and with that
candorand.liberality which always distin
guish mfenjaf real science.
Those who took an in erest in the origi
nal question of jh'e jnotioi\ of a carriage
wheel, may how receive some satisfaction in
being informed of ,tliV » p‘mons whicii our
most eminent matkemiucians entertain with
respect to this subject.,. They, may also be
an.used With an account of. other’I’arad. x
es in rotary motion not lets astonishing than
tha. of the different velocities in the "points
of a carriage wheel, which may be found
in the arttelk *• Rotation,” in the British
Encyclopedia ; but as this article is only
calculated for the perusal of thosd acquaint
ed with the higher Geometry. I shall en_
tleavor to make those paradoxes intelligible
without the aid of Algebraic Formule
It is unnecessary here to relate the senti
ments entertained by Mr. Girartfin of the
City, witi^ respect .o the Theory, as he has
been pleased to notice it in the most favora
ble itrms: in the Port-Folio of Philadelphia,
of Marclrbst. The truth that the same point
on the earth’s surface moves with different
velocities in the period of twenty four hours,
has not been called itr question by anyone of
those Gentlemen, who have corresponded
with me. Professor Patterson, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, differs in opinion,
as to the hour ot greatest and least veiofci_
tv. According\o Mr. Patterson, we move
With greatest velocity at midnight, and with
least velocity at noon : wh/in w. I
serted, that our greatest velocity was at
noon, and our least at midnight. This cir
cumstance, however, in no matiher affects
the theory, as the same consequences would
follow from either hypothesis. The most
material circumstance in which Mr. Patter
son differs from me. is with respect to the
centrifugal force of the points of the earth,
nnd consequently* of gravity towards the
e rill's centre Professor Patterson thinks,
that the centrifugal forge of any point can
only be affected bv c. change in the angular
velocity, and not fjy a change in the absolute
velocity. IT fvas. also- {to obliging as to
inclose to me. a flurionary demonstration
from a Gentleman in Philadelphia,, whose
character air a mathematician stands high,
tending to prove that the centrifugal force
is the same in the Cycloid, as in the circle ;
but al'bough the opinions both of Professor,
Patterson and this Gentlenvn are certainly i
en'ttit'd to the highest respect ; yet I be- '
lieve I shall be able to point out the error
into which the Fluxionary Calculus Hn« led
them, and to prove unquestionably, that the j
centrifugal force must be affected by a I
cmtnge in absolute velocity.
Bishop Madison, al hough he is of opinion,
that the Cycloidal motion of tjiu points ot
the earth, is an agent in many important
pi ce u.TTien* in nature, and that it has not
been duly appreciated, yet adheres to the
Newtonian doctrine of the Tides. He coin
tides with me in the opinion of its being the i
cause of the fail ot Atmospherical stone*.
II is words are :—•• I think your ideas res
fu cting annos/hcrical stones, the most firo
buble which have been suggested. .Vcarly
the same thought wits /iro/.oeed by me to
tnj class, and also to Air. Hlackburn some
time /last ; but your a/fdication of the Cy _
c/oidal motion of the earth to the /herno
mrnoh, has been hafi/y indeed.”
Bishop Madison also mentions the follow"
ing singular Phcenoinrnnn, which I have
since found has been noticed by the most
experienced Millers in this state, and I be
lievc from the testimony that may he ptodu
cerl, no doubt can be entertained of the fact.
“ There is said to be a fact which may be
•tvor'hy of attention. I have frequently
heard from men of considerable observation,
that a null wti/t the sum,‘ quantity of wa
ter, wotud do more work in the sometime,
hi the night than in the day. It may be
worth while to see whether such a fact re„
(illy does occur ; if so. your oftinion would
receive no smalt confirmation. It is also
of'en urged as a fact, that tides which come
on at or about midnight are higher than
those of noon.”
Doctor Kemp, Professor of Mathematics
and Natural Philosophy, in Columbia Col
- fegr. N cw York, has c.xpr< *«ed himself in
terms highly approving of the Theory, and
appears to think that a change m absolute
velocity must produce a change in the cen_
trifuga\ force ot the points of the earth.
A Teacher of Mathematics in the 3tate of
New JerM V wrote me a letter, informing
me that the same theory was to he found in
G '.HXeo’s syrein of the Universe, hut that
th»- to 11ity of it had long since been shewn
and exfioscd by naany authors and purlieu*
'Tarty by Mr. Vince .and Mr. La Lande in

wrote to Ilishop Madison requesting him to
consult the origin Is upon 'he subject, and
in remm received the following ahs ver,_
“ I have consulted Vmce and lie La / an

any reference to the subject mentioned m
your letter The work of the tatter is two
large volumes quarto first Turin edition.—
That of eh c former is also in two volumes

that he is assured neither of the works
make mention of the subject. IVc have

Wnetlutr '.he principle I have assumed be
Correct or no', is a question which I believe
will not be decided for some time. I feel
myself however under the greatest obliga -
lions to those Gentlemen who have favored
me with their opinions, and the encomiums
which some have bestowed are cer'aiuty
much tm-re than my essay on the diurnal
rotation of he earth deserved. Among those
1 can with pleasure mention the name of
Vr. 1< fierson, wiio>t ie 1 for the promotion
of mathematical knowledge is well known ;
and who regards a knowledge of Geometry
as 'lie most important part of the education
of youth.
Wi n respect to the article on “ Rota
tion ’ in :|ie British Encyclopaedia. it may
be proper first to obseivetliai this article
was written by the late Professor Pobison
of Edinburgh, a man whose Philosophical
and Mathematical talents were known to
all the learned societies of Europe, j id who
was regarded bo»h in France -.nd Britain
to have few rivals anti no superior. The
theory of rotation which he ad p.s ;sen'nely
differept from that delivered in our im n i
y s iiool B f-ks, such as ( availo, Hels tam,
Ferguson and Adams. Professor Robison
demonstrates that whatever lurce, whether
the force of Gravity or any o'her force thai
produces two motions in a brnlv, a progves
sive motion and a rotary mo ion; part of
that )o;ce is < xpended upon the votary mo
thm is v e 1 • $ upon the progressive morion.
* 7" Vie ordinary Theories of Machines
(s vs Robison) deduct d untilely Irom the
principles of Equilibrium, the pressure on
the points oi support (exclusive of what
pure ds from the weight of the machine
''sell) is stati d as the same as if the mov_
mK -‘Pd resisting forces were applied im~
mediately to these points in their own di _
ructions. But this is in all cases erroneous ;
-nd. i« cases of swift motions, i; is greatly
so VVe may he convinced of this by a ve
ry Simple instance.
“ Suppose a iiue laid over a pullev> r.rid a
bound weight at otic end of it. and ;c*i, pounds
at the other; the pressure of tlie axis on its
support iS eleven pounds, according to the
usual rule ; 'Whereas we shall find it onlv
; 7 7
u, ... •.
Th is Pioressor Robison demonstrates in
j the most.rigid and satisfactory manner. In
•mother pUce he says-‘ It is usual in
(courses of experimental Philosophy toillus.
f tram the motions of bodies on inclined Planes
and curved surfaces by experiments with
Balls rolling down these surfaces But the
motions of such rolling Balls are by no
means just representations of the motions
they represent. The B ill not only goes
down the inclined plane by the action of
Gravity, but it also turns round an axis. ——
, Force is necessary for producing this rota.,
tion ; and as here is no other source but the
weight of the Ball, part of this weigh' isex
pended on the rotation, and the remainder
only accelerates it down the Plane.”
Fidni this Theory of Professor Robison,
it is evident that the most imp.irtant const
quenct3 may be obtained ; for nothing is marc
desirable in machines which derive their
efficacy from a rotary motion, than toapply
the pressures arising from the power and
the resisting force, in such a maimer as to
annihilate or diminish this pressure on the
supports.of t; e axis of motion. Proper at.
ten. ion to this principle will shew what may
be done. For instance, in all machinery
where the wheel and ax e are employed, it
is the general a.id prevailing idea, that the
pressure upon the supports of the x!e, is
equal to 'he moving power together wi'h the
weight, as also tin weight of the wheel and
axle itself. Nmliiog is how ver more dif
ferent from 'he Truth. Even n water
wheels, the pressure upon the support of the
axle is not equal to the force of the water
and the resistance oppose 1 by the work ; for
part of this force is expended in the rotary
motion of the wheel.
For the same reason, if there were no
friction, a carriage could lie easier drawn
wi'h mt wheels th in with wheels. There are
two other very remark ible properties of ro
tary and progre.-sive motion.
lit;‘Every'point of a body having a pro.
gressive motion and a votary motion j^bout an
axis, as any point in the cirbumterence of a
Carriage wheel, has aho an incipient me.
tion about another imaginary axis whose p >
sition is given, anti which In .ay be ascertain
ed by the following proportion ---The i o .
tai y velocity is to the progessh * veioci y
the distance of the given point fu>m the a;;
Is oi rotation to its distance from this imngi *
nary axis which has been termed a spout*,
neons axis of conversion.
wu it a hotly revolves round an axis pas.
sing through its centre of graviiy, with 'he
angular velocity A, whil this axis is c irri
ed round another axis, also passing through
its centre of gravity, with the angular vc
locily B, these two motions comb ned will
produce a motion of every particle of the
body round a third axis, lying in the plane
of the other two, and inclined to each of the
former axes in angles whose sines are inverse
ly as the angular velocities round them ;
and the angular velocity round this new ax
is is to that round one of the primitive axes
as the sine of inclination of the two primitive
axes is to the sine of the inclination of the
new axis to the other primitive axis,
ft is however something as onisbing, that
Robison although helm* treated of the ro
1 tary and progressive motion of bodies in the
fullest and most perspicuous manner, should
be silent as to the different velocities of each
point on the earth's surface during a diur utl
rotation ; nor have I been able yet to ascer
tain whether the fact has been noticed by
anv author. Nothing would a (Ford me more
satisfaction than to ascertain this circum
stance—Bishop Madison appears satisfied
that this property of Votary motion has been
entirely unobserved ; nor have anv of those
Gentlemen who have corresponded with me
upon the subject, mentioned that the fact has
been noticed by others, except the Mathema
tician of New Jer«ev whose information as i<
evident from li,shop Madison's letter must be
incorrect. In s-,me future essay, perhaps, I
may have it in my power to throw lro-.t
light, upon this “rtbjvct, 'v'*»cli **» certainly
extremely imp .runt in the construction
of all machines where rotary motion is con
cerned.

1 homas Cooper,now a Judge in l’ennsyl.
vania, has made a tour to Niagara, through
the Gcnmssee c untry, in the curse of
which he has collected several ingenious ob •
serrations-As to the Hoads, fin instance;
he remarks that the New. York Turnpikes,
like those ot New England, are merely made
hy clearing out the stumps, ditching on
each side of the toad, and elevating it in
the middle hy means of the dirt thus thrown
out of the dhches. Hence the people are
j enabled to make so many more Turnpikes
; than in Pennsylvania—whose roads are by far
i too expensive. He calculates, that tit cost
I of a, New York road is not more than S 1200
——whereas, the Lancaster Turnpike must
haw cost Q000 But in these roads the Penn
sylvania five-horse Waggons must not be
used, mot *- especially if they run on narrow
wheels. It is a rrdeir. England that a four
horse waggon must have 6 inch wheels.——
j The Turnpike system cannot * thrive and
spread far as long as 5 & 6 horse teams,
are r.ufiered in grind to the very button of
the hardest road-no to!!, they 'can pfiv
compensates for the injury. Thrtmfrh
out New_Y.u k and Nr«v England, it is rare
to sec a waggon with more than 3 horses.—
Two_hor.se ones are the most common. —v
; It ir. hence that their roads are so little in
want of repair—hence they arc productive_
hence they are minu r us, & extend the be

The Secretary of the Treasury, In his rc
port on public Roads and Canals remarks i
— “ That the general adoption of broad
wheels for the transportation of heavy loads
is necessary to the full enjoyment of the ad
vantages expected from the most substantial
artificial loads.”
The example of Pennsylvania, however,
proves the. ix'wme benefit* oftheTurn
pike systroi. Prom Philadelphia to Pitts
burg is 300 miles; a small part is Turr.pi
ktd; the cost of carriage is 6 dollars per
wi. or 36 shillings. From Philadelphia to
Northumberland is 132 miles; I 3d i\ turrt
piked, the cost is 8 s. The aveiage load is
3.; cwt-From Philadelphia to Columbia,
j 76 miles, the Cost is 2s 9 l-Jd. and the load
I U6 oi 27 barrels of flair or about JO cwt_
' Haute hy means of Turnpikes, the wost is
lessened, endjthe load increased.—The cost
ot carriage over the most frequented road in
the State, but not turapilced.'^s 12 *. per
one hundred miles: over a road about 1 _3
turnp'ked S 3-5 s.—over a good Turnpike
road 3* 4 2_5c/.
The Legislature should weigh these facts
——thev show not onlv the use of Turn
! pikes, but the way in which they are to be
j made more durable and extensive. In fra

I the width of i|>e wheel ought not to be over
[ looked. VVe understand that the attention
. th? Legislature is ab.-ut to be drawn to
this circumstans*. by a memorial from cer
tain counties to the South of the James river,
playing, that they will “devise some mode
of piotecting the Manchester Turnpike
road by compelling those who carry cnor
inous coal weights to use broad wheels;, or
that all waggons over a certain weight, not
having broad wheels, should pay a toll pro
portioned to that weight."

•2. Becauoe the limitation was a sufF, tent war
ning to the bank to arrange its affairs, and
no excuse can beurgad by a commercial bo
dy for a failure in i xactness
i Because the charter is fundamentally bad,
pernicious in its past operation, and fraught
with greater mischief
4 Because two thirds of the stock is held in
foreign countries, through which an in flu
cnee has been exercised of the most fatal ns
lure to a free people.
A Because the profits upon two thirds of the
capital stock is carried out of the circulation
of the United States to enrich those who
use their influence in host,lily to our g ,y

6 Because, beside the profits upon the bank
stock,, the deposit of the public revenue of
the United State*, being limited to that
bank, all the advantages derived from the
public money, go in the proportion of two
thirds out of our circulation and to enrich
ptnans mivtrse to America
7 Because the influence of that bank has been
from ns first establishment, subservient to
British interests and adverse to American
interests.
® localise its influence has been fatally era
ployed on many public occasions, partial
lai ly the British treat*-, the embargo, and
the general system of our policy framed to
protect us from British aggression.
9- Because its i; fluence has been exercised in
our local eleoio is.
10. Because instead of being employed as a
medium of commercial accommodation fen
the reciprocal advantage of the community
and the proprietors, it has been employed
af J pmitical engine, to favor such as would
abandon the interests of popular represents
tiv government; and to repress or to oh*
stI net the equal pursuits in society, of men
who were devoted to the principles oniber
ty and independence, as dclined in the de
