Note 56 — Chapter II · THE TELESCOPE AND ITS REVELATIONS.
G. (George) Sturge translation
Op. vi. pp. 116-118. Ponsard in his drama, “Galileo,” of which a third edition appeared at Paris in 1873, in which he mostly turns history upside down, in Act i. sc. iii. and iv. takes off capitally the proud and silly opposition of the Aristotelians.
