"Master Pathfinder," called out the Scotchman, "a friend summons you to a parley. Come freely to one of the loops; for you've nothing to fear so long as you are in converse with an officer of the 55th."
– Maître Pathfinder, – s’écria l’Écossais, – c’est un ami qui vous demande un pourparler, montrez-vous sans crainte à une des meurtrières, car vous ne courez aucun danger tant que vous aurez affaire à un officier du 55e.

Its inertia acts in the phenomena of induction exactly, as has been said above, by opposing itself to change of movement—that is to say, in the converse direction to the cause which tends to produce its slackening or acceleration.
Cette inertie agit dans les phénomènes d'induction exactement comme nous l'avons dit plus haut, en s'opposant au changement du mouvement, c'est-à-dire en sens inverse de la cause qui tend à produire son ralentissement ou son accélération.

Par une opération inverse, c'est-à-dire en dispersant un faisceau de radiations au moyen d'un prisme ou d'une lentille divergente, on augmente la surface éclairée ou chauffée, mais en réduisant l'intensité par unité de surface.
