Vlissingen 48 ( Salomon Le Sage )

While in Geneva, he devoted himself to the study of mathematics under Georges-Louis Le Sage, and acquired from Switzerland an intense love of liberty.

This started at the University of Geneva where he studied mathematics under Georges-Louis Le Sage.

Le Sage's theory of gravitation is a kinetic theory of gravity originally proposed by Nicolas Fatio de Duillier in 1690 and later by Georges-Louis Le Sage in 1748.

The theory proposed a mechanical explanation for Newton's gravitational force in terms of streams of tiny unseen particles ( which Le Sage called ultra-mundane corpuscles ) impacting all material objects from all directions.

Some fragments of these manuscripts and copies of the poem were later acquired by Le Sage who failed to find a publisher for Fatio's papers.

So it lasted until 1929, when the only complete copy of Fatio's manuscript was published by Karl Bopp, and in 1949 Gagnebin used the collected fragments in possession of Le Sage to reconstruct the paper.

Nevertheless, Fatio's theory remained largely unknown with a few exceptions like Cramer and Le Sage, because he never was able to formally publish his works and he fell under the influence of a group of religious fanatics called the " French prophets " ( which belonged to the camisards ) and therefore his public reputation was ruined.

It was also Cramer who informed Le Sage about Fatio's theory in 1749.
