  • Description: The reading of Mr. Ivory’s Paper was resumed and concluded. The author considers the essential property of a fluid, and that on which its definition should be founded, as consisting in the perfect mobility of its particles among one another. If abstraction be made of the force of gravity, or other accelerating force, when a continuous fluid is at rest, and consequently in a state of equilibrium, all its particles are equally pressed in every direction, are equally distant from one another, and are similarly arranged about every interior point. No fluid is absolutely incompressible; but the degree of compressibility may be conceived to be so small as not to affect the results; and it is accordingly disregarded in the investigations which occupy the present paper.
