... a half score years that have elapsed since Poe's death he has come fully into his own. For a while Griswold's malignant misrepresentations colored the public estimate of Poe as man and as writer. But, thanks to J. H. Ingram, W. F.

If, on the average, the Mass density p[0] is constant throughout tithe universe, then a sphere of volume V will enclose the average man p[0]V. Thus the number of lines of force passing through the surface F of the sphere into its interior is proportional to p[0] V. For unit area of the surface of the sphere the number of lines of force which enters the sphere is thus proportional to p[0] V/F or to p[0]R. Hence the intensity of the field at the surface would ultimately become infinite with ...
