(In his) «Leçons de physique, ...» Privat de Molières offered an emended Cartesian program which, by incorporating Newton's calculations and mathematical techniques, would accord with the exact experimental and observational data. Central to his system was the existence of small vortices. ... His system, extended to include electrical and chemical phenomena, was influencial in France and was cited by Fontenelle. secretary of the Academy, as one of the most effective rehabilitations of Cartesian science.” (DSB).
