[30] See _Luther's Tischreden_, _Irmischer's Ausgabe_. Also, _Melanchthon's Initia Doctrinæ Physicæ_. This treatise is cited under a mistaken title by the _Catholic World_, September, 1870. The correct title is as given above. It will be found in the _Corpus Reformatorum_, ed. _Bretschneider_, Halle, 1846. (For the above passage, see vol. xiii., pp. 216, 217.) Also, _Lange_, _Geschichte des Materialismus_, vol. i., p. 217. Also, _Prowe_, _Ueber die Abhängigkeit des Copernicus_, Thorn, 1865, p. 4. Also, note, pp. 5 and 6, where text is given in full. [31] For treatment of Copernican ideas by the people, see _Catholic World_, as above. [32] See title-page of Fromundus's work cited in note at bottom of p. 392; also, Melanchthon, _ubi supra_. [33] See _Bartholmess_, _Vie de Jordano Bruno_, Paris, 1846, vol. i., pp. 121 and 212, _et seq._ Also _Berti_, _Vita di Giordano Bruno_, Firenze, 1868, chapter xvi. Also _Whewell_, i., 294, 295. That Whewell is somewhat hasty in attributing Bruno's punishment entirely to the _Spaccio della Bestia Trionfante_ will be evident, in spite of Montucla, to any one who reads the account of the persecution in Bartholmess or Berti; and, even if Whewell be right, the _Spaccio_ would never have been written, but for Bruno's indignation at ecclesiastical oppression. See _Tiraboschi_, vol. xi., p. 435. [34] _Delambre_, _Histoire de l'Astronomie moderne_, discours préliminaire, p. xiv. Also _Laplace_, _Système du Monde_, vol. i., p. 326, and for more careful statement, _Kepleri Opera Omnia_, edit. Frisch, tom. ii., p. 464. [35] _Cantu_, _Histoire Universelle_, vol. xv., p. 473. [36] A very curious example of this sham science is seen in the argument, frequently used at the time, that, if the earth really moved, a stone falling from a height would fall back of the point immediately below its point of starting. This is used by Fromundus with great effect. It appears never to have occurred to him to test the matter by dropping a stone from the topmast of a ship. But the most beautiful thing of all is that Benzenburg has experimentally demonstrated just such an aberration in falling bodies as is mathematically required by the diurnal motion of the earth. See _Jevons_, _Principles of Science_, vol. i., p. 453, and ii., pp. 310, 311. [37] See Delambre as to the discovery of the satellites of Jupiter being the turning-point with the heliocentric doctrine. As to its effects on Bacon, see _Jevons_, _Principles of Science_, vol. ii., p. 298. [38] For argument drawn from the candlestick and seven churches, see Delambre. [39] _Libri_, vol. iv., p. 211. _De Morgan_, _Paradoxes_, p. 26, for account of Father Clavius. It is interesting to know that Clavius, in his last years, acknowledged that "the whole system of the heavens is broken down, and must be mended."
