' Certain hydrodynamical theorems, which he believed himself to have demonstrated, admitted in his firm conviction, cf 

 application to the observed laws of light, heat, gravity, molecular attraction, and electricity. The conclusion pointed t ) 

 was that the physical forces are mutually related, because all are modes of i>resstire of the same ethereal medium. The

 ratio ... He gave a reduction, different from Newton's in this, that the line curves from which all others can be 

 projected are symmetrical with respect to a centre ... To Chasles we owe the introduction into projective geometry of 

 non-projective properties of figures by nuans of the infinitely distant imaginarysphero-circle',etc. etc. etc.— P/o/. Cojoru
