370 OF MATTER, MIND, AND SPIRIT.they act upon each other ?Is any thing more difficult to understand thanthat a body can act where it is not ?1800. It is also mentioned by you, that it may be urged ^^ that inertiaand weight are two separate prroved, that if there he any Idnd ofmatter tchich is not heavy, the weight can no longer avail us, in any case,to any extent, as the measure of the quantify of matter."1806. In reply to these allegations, let me inquire. Cannot a matter existof which the sensible properties do not admit of being measured by humanmeans ? Because some kinds of matter can be measured by " thosesensible qualities which undergo quantitative addition, subtraction, anddivision,'' does it follow that there may not be matter which is incapableof being thus measured ? And wherefore would the method of obtainingphilosophical truth be " futile" in the one case, because inapplicable in theother ?Because the inertias of A and B have been discovered, by meansof their gravitation, does it follow that the inertias of X and Y cannot

Tt is self-evident, that matter without weight cannot be estimatedby weighing, but I deny that on that account such weightlessmatter may not be otherwise estimated. The inertias of A and B cannotbe better measured by gravitation than those of X and Y by repulsion, asalready shown.1808. You seem to infer, in paragraph second, page sixth, (p. 268,)that we should be equally destitute of the means of measuring matteraccurately,''were any hind of matter heavy indeedy hut not so heavy, inproportion to its qiiantity of matter, as other Jcinds.''1809. If, in the case of all matter, weight be admitted to be the onlymeasure of quantity, it were inconsistent to suppose any given quantityof matter, of any one kind, to have less weight than an equal quantity ofanother kind ; but upon what other than a conventional basis is it to beassumed that there is more matter in a cubic inch of platinum than in acubic inch of tin ?in a cubic inch of mercury than in a cubic inch of iron?Judging by the chemical efficacy of the masses, although the weight ofmercury is to that of iron as 13.6 is to 8, there are more equivalents of thelatter than the former in any given bulk, since by weight twenty-eightparts of iron are equivalent to two hundred and two parts of mercury.1810. Weight is one of the properties of certain kinds of matter, andhas been advantageously resorted to, in preference to any other property,in estimating the quantity of the matter to which it appertains. Nevertheless,measurement by bulk is found expedient or necessary in manycases. But may we not appeal to any general property which admits ofbeing measured or estimated ?Farraday has inferred that the quantity ofelectricity is as the quantity of gas whicb it evolves. Light has beenconsidered as proportional in quantity to the surface which it illuminateswith a given intensity at a certain distance. The quantity of caloric hasbeen held to be directly as the weight of water which it willrender aeriform; and has also been estimated by the degree of its expansive or thermometricinfluence. What scale-beam is more delicate than the thermoscopeof Melloni ?1811. In the last paragraph but one, seventh page, (p. 270,) yousuggest, that "perhaps some persons might conceive that the identity ofweight and inertia is obvious at once, for hoth are merely resistance tomotion ; inertia, resistance to all motion, or change of motion; loeight,resistance to motion vjncard."1812. I am surprised that you should think the opinion of any personworthy of attention, who should entertain so narrow a view of weight, asantagonist of momentum, as that above quoted, " that itis a resistance tcmotion upward.''
