註釋The Life and Work of George Louis Le Sage by John Playfair is a biography about Georges-Louis Le Sage, a Genevan physicist, and is most known for his theory of gravitation, his invention of the electric telegraph, and his anticipation of the kinetic theory of gasses. Furthermore, he was a contributor to the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers. Excerpt: "The biographical sketch here announced has more than an ordinary claim to the attention of the reader. The subject of it is a philosopher, who besides the peculiarities incident to genius, had several that belonged exclusively to himself."
