Excerpt from The Procession of Planets
This book is not intended as a textbook on astronomy as much as an attempt to correct some of the mistakes of astronomers. It shows the true motions of matter as they force themselves along the lines of least resistance. It shows the opposite force to gravity, which Newton overlooked, and which is expansion caused by heat. It shows that there are but these two forces, or causes of force, (gravity and heat) in nature and that they are self operating.
It teaches that there is always a procession of expanded matter or gas, going up from the sun and a returning procession of planets, moons, comets and other solid matter, falling back to the sun, which keeps it supplied with fuel and energy.
It furnishes the mathematical proof of such a procession in our solar system, by pointing out the facts concerning their relative distances from the sun, and their speed along their orbits, all of which astronomers have measured and proven.
