Abstract
IF no one else cares to raise the question, may I ask Mr. Bassett how he fixes the foundations, of his dynamics, viz., the axes of reference to which the positions and velocities of his particles are referred? There are other questions, of more or less metaphysical interest (such as the nature of “Force”), which his paper does not touch; but this one is of importance to the most practical view of the subject; and only an elementary text-book for schoolboys can afford to beg it, while treating of the Foundations of Dynamics.
