But Laplace's calculations showed the new value to depend upon the excentricity of the earth's orbit, which, according; to theory, has a periodical variation of enormous period, and has been continually diminishing for thousands of years. Thus the solar influence has been diminishing, and the moon's mean motion increased.
They lead away from excentricity and isolation, from foiled and barren thinking.
Why, it seemed as if he had almost every qualification for makin' a woman happy, only he had jest this one little excentricity, that man would lock up Abagail Burpy's clothes every time he got mad at her. Of course the law give her clothes to him; and knowin' it was one of the laws of the United States, she wouldn't have complained only when she had company.
The direction of AB is the line of apses. The ratio of CS to CA is the excentricity. The angle ASP is the anomaly when the planet is at P. CA or a line drawn from S to D is the mean distance of the planet from the sun. The ruled logarithmic paper we now use was not then to be had by going into a stationer's shop. Else he would have accomplished this in five minutes.
In the middle of the ninth century Albategnius, a Syrian prince, improved the value of excentricity of the sun's orbit, observed the motion of the moon's apse, and thought he detected a smaller progression of the sun's apse. His tables were much more accurate than Ptolemy's. Abul Wefa, in the tenth century, seems to have discovered the moon's "variation."
Then the assault came, the Swiss guard was massacred, the Assembly thrust aside, and the royal family were seized and conveyed to the Temple. There the monarchy ended. Thus far had the irrational opposition of a moribund type thrown into excentricity the social equilibrium of a naturally conservative people. They were destined to drive it still farther.
