History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom

CHAPTER III
87/115

Protestants in Styria and Wurtemberg, Catholics in Austria and Bohemia, press upon him but Newton, Halley, Bradley, and other great astronomers follow, and to science remains the victory.( 73) (73) For Campanella, see Amabile, Fra Tommaso Campanella, Naples, 1882, especially vol.iii; also Libri, vol.iv, pp.

149 et seq.

Fromundus, speaking of Kepler's explanation, says, "Vix teneo ebullientem risum." This is almost equal to the New York Church Journal, speaking of John Stuart Mill as "that small sciolist," and of the preface to Dr.Draper's great work as "chippering." How a journal, generally so fair in its treatment of such subjects, can condescend to such weapons is one of the wonders of modern journalism.

For the persecution of Kepler, see Heller, Geschichte der Physik, vol.i, pp.

281 et seq; also Reuschle, Kepler und die Astronomie, Frankfurt a.
