Excerpt from The Elements of Mechanics, Comprehending Statics and Dynamics: With a Copious Collection of Mechanical Problems; Intended for the Use of Mathematical Students in Schools and Universities; With Numerous Plates

A body subjected to the action of a force or moving inﬂu ence, ought, necessarily, to move in the direction of that force; towards it, if the force draw or attract it, and from it, if the force push or repel it. Hence, it is the tendency of a body inﬂuenced by a single force applied to it at rest to move in a straight direction. But if to the same point two equal and directly opposite forces are applied, the tendency\ to motion in one direction being equal to the tendency in the opposite direction, the point will necessarily remain at rest, and will be as much prepared to obey the inﬂuence of any third force as it was before the two counterbalancing forces, of which we have just spoken, were applied.
