Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Elementary Chemistry
All the objects which our senses can recognize occupy space. Likewise all are drawn toward the earth by a force which we call gravitation. The measure of this force we call weight. Matter is the general name applied to all objects and may be defined as that which occupies space or which has weight.
