  Sympathetic Vibratory Physics - John W. Keely's Forty Laws of Harmony.
Scholium: All forms of transmissive energy can be focussed, reflected, refracted, diffracted, transformed, and diminished in intensity inversely as the square of the distance from the originating source." (see FAQ for discussion of this law)
Scholium: New thermometers and accurate thermometric tables, on the natural base, wherein doubling the temperature doubles the pitch of the transmissive energy, are required.
Scholium: Tables of all harmonics and concords, and harmonics founded upon a normal harmonic scale, are equally essential.

  Scholium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scholium (plural scholia) is the name given to grammatical, critical and explanatory notes or brief commentary whether original or extracted from existing commentaries, which are inserted on the margin of the manuscript of an ancient author as a succinct gloss.
The name of the first scholiast has been given to Didymus of Alexandria, and the practice of compiling scholia continued till the 15th or 16th century.
The word scholium itself is first met with in Cicero (Ad Atticum xvi.

 Spinoza, Ethics, Part II

Spinoza thinks that’s completely mistaken; a volition is nothing but a certain kind of idea; thus “the will and the intellect are one and the same” (prop.
The scholium to proposition 49, which concludes part II, rejects Descartes' analysis of the possibility of error, which depends on a notion of the will that Spinoza cannot accept.

 "GOD OF GODS, AND LORD OF LORDS: The Theology Of Isaac Newton's General Scholium To The Principia"
The Scholium's "Maker and Lord of all things" finds a verbal parallel in Proverbs 22:2: "The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all." Of course, the Bible also commonly characterizes God as Maker and Creator.
In his "Of the Church," which dates from the same period as the Scholium, Newton writes: "If it be said, I and the +my, father are one" [John 10:30], the homoousians "take it in a metaphysical sense for one in substance, tho Christ interprets it of a moral unity or unanimity" [John 17:21-2].
The genius of the General Scholium is that it can operate at two levels that correspond to the open and closed, the exoteric and esoteric, the relative and absolute.

 "To discourse of God: Isaac Newton's heterodox theology and his natural philosophy"
The final line of the theological portion of the General Scholium concludes: "And thus much concerning God; to discourse of whom from the appearances of things, does certainly belong to Natural Philosophy".
Newton's care in composing the General Scholium is revealed in a fascinating comment he makes in one of the newly-recovered Macclesfield papers about the possibility of his language about God's eternity and omnipresence being "taken in another sense.
Newton's efforts to layer the meaning of the General Scholium so that only the adepti (both the astute orthodox and his fellow heretics) could perceive the true intent related to an overarching "epistemological dualism" in Newton's thought.

The Bucket Experiment and Mach’s Interpretation In the third to last paragraph of his scholium on time, space, place and motion, Newton suggests that, at least in some circumstances, absolute motions may be distinguished from relative motions by their observable effects.
In the twelfth paragraph of the Scholium, Newton raises a second kind of objection to Descartes’s distinction between common and true motion.
He suggests that in addition to respecting our intuitions concerning the properties of true motions, an adequate definition of absolute motion should recognize that the generation and alteration of true motions must be correlated with the forces taken to act on bodies.

If Scholium is rolled after a book result, it automatically becomes either a damaged work (with only one page remaining of a much longer work), or a tract at GM's discretion.
Scholium especially tend to be cryptic notes or references that, while readable, may still not be comprehensible to the reader.

 The Newton Project - Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
In this text, Newton not only challenges the natural philosophy of Descartes, counters criticism levelled against him by Leibniz and appeals for universal gravitation and an inductive method, but he embeds a subversive attack on the doctrine of the Trinity, which he believed was a fourth-century corruption of Christianity.
In his General Scholium, Newton appeals for a humble and inductive approach both in natural philosophy and religion.
In this powerful manifesto of his goals in natural philosophy and theology, Newton also reveals his commitments to a dual reformation in these two spheres — spheres Newton believed were thoroughly bound together.

This law of differentiation is much more than a postulate brought forth in the fifth scholium to counter recapitulation; it is the law of biological development, the single tendency of all change.

 Can Two Equal Infinity
           Spinoza himself uses unboundedness as a notion of the infinite in the Scholium to Prop.
The indivisibility of substance can be more easily understood merely from the fact that the nature of substance can be conceived only as infinite, and that a part of substance can mean only finite substance, which involves an obvious contradiction (Pr.8).
Infinity in the sense of unboundedness cannot coincide with the mathematical infinity, since mathematical infinities certainly can be contained in greater wholes: the aggregate of even integers is a part of the aggregate of integers.  Should it be objected—though Spinoza would not want to object given the argument in the Scholium to Prop.

Following Kepler and Newton's Christmas encounter on a tour of high school science classes, they agreed to meet and give further definition to the "lessons" which had emerged from the significant emotional experience they had shared.
This "Epilogue and General Scholium" summarizes their findings in the form of seven hypotheses, for which they have coined the term "The Madonna Hypotheses".
While this third hypothesis may now look like dishonesty on the part of Newton, it was instead a combination of religious belief and Newton's secretive nature, for Newton thought that seeking a direct understanding of the infinite harmonies of all things acting on all other things equated to looking upon the "Ark of the Covenant".

 Scholium
Considering that the first Scholium of Newton's Principia begins with the famous assertion "absolute, true, and mathematical time...flows equably, without relation to anything external", it's ironic that Newton's theory of universal gravitation can be interpreted as a theory of variations in the flow of time.
Suppose in Newton's absolute space we establish the Cartesian coordinates x,y,z, and then assign a fourth coordinate, t, to every point.
So, despite Newton's conception of the perfectly equable flow of time, his theory of gravitation can well be interpreted as a description of the effects of the inequable flow of time.

Published for the first time as an appendix to the 2nd (1713) edition of the Principia, the General Scholium reappeared in the 3rd (1726) edition with some alterations and additions.
In addition to countering the natural philosophy of Leibniz and the Cartesians, the General Scholium contains an excursion into natural theology and theology proper.
In this short text, Newton articulates the design argument (which he fervently believed was furthered by the contents of his Principia), but also includes an oblique argument for a unitarian conception of God and an implicit attack on the doctrine of the Trinity, which Newton believed was a post-biblical corruption.
