Excerpt from Outlines of Natural Philosophy, Vol. 1: Being the Heads of a Course of Lectures Delivered in Columbia College, New-YorkNo body possesses within itself the power of changing its state, whether of motion or of rest. It cannot lose motion in any di rection without communicating an equal amount to other bodies in the same direction neither can it acquire motion in any di rection, without diminishing the motion of other bodies by an equal quantity in that same direction.This is the annunciation of that principle, called by some authors Inertia, and classed by them as one of the properties of matter.
