Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Entretiens sur la Physique, Vol. 2
Ainsi la surface de nos nappes d'eau n'est plane qu'en apparence et lorsque nous avons des masses d'eau qui communiquent entre elles il faut considérer leurs surfaces comme des portions d'une mème surface de sphère qui a pour rayon le rayon de la terre. Par conséquent ces deux surfaces seront dans le mème plan horizontal.
