At the time, and under the conditions, specified, the conjoined attraction of sun and moon an attraction sufficient to sway millions of tons of water, in the spring tides is superadded to the centric gravity of the earth, the triple force, at the moment of midnight, tending toward the nadir, or downward.
"Some say He bid His angels turn askance The poles of Earth some ten degrees or more From the sun's axle; they with labour pushed Oblique the centric globe,... ...to bring in change Of seasons to each clime; else had the spring Perpetual smiled on Earth with verdant flowers, Equal in days and nights."
A reg'lar 'centric but a reg'lar brick, cutting a wide swathe as he goes. He's a tip-topper; and he's a sort of tough too a sort of a kind of a tough. Well, it's none of my business. Get up!" he added to the horse, and turning round in the road with difficulty, he drove back a mile to the Tavern Marochal for his beer and mutton and white whiskey.

This is the reason why levity was banished from scientific inquiry, and why, when the field-concept was created by the genius of Faraday, it did not occur to anyone that with it the way was opened to comprehend field-types other than the centric one characteristic of gravity and kindred forces.
"No trouble of that sort." And Bunting said shamefacedly, "Aye, aye, the lodger was quite an honest gentleman, Joe. But I feel worried, about him. He was such a poor, gentle chap not the sort o' man one likes to think of as wandering about by himself." "You always said he was 'centric," said Joe thoughtfully.
