About this Item

3 volumes in-4 de LXVIII, 260 pp., 1 planche / VI, 290 pp., 3 planches / XLVIII, 263, (1), 32 pp., 2 planches. Veau marbr�, dos � nerfs orn�, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l'�poque.). First edition. "Devoted primarily to the motion of the moon (volume III included a new set of lunar tables), it was written at least partially to guard d'Alembert's claims to originality against those of Clairaut. As was so often the case, d'Alembert's method was mathematically more sound, but Clairaut's method was more easily used by astronomers." DSB I, 114. A complete copy with the "Nouvelles Tables de la Lune par M. d'Alembert" which occupies the end of the last volume with its own pagination; these last 32 pages are often missing. Lalande, p. 453 and 459: "The first volume contains scholarly research on the three-body problem. The third volume contains a great deal of research into the construction of moon tables." Very fine copy. 3 volumes in-4 de LXVIII, 260 pp., 1 planche / VI, 290 pp., 3 planches / XLVIII, 263, (1), 32 pp., 2 planches. Veau marbr�, dos � nerfs orn�, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l'�poque.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Premi�re �dition. "Consacr� principalement au mouvement de la lune (le volume III comprend une nouvelle s�rie de tables de la lunes), il a �t� �crit au moins en partie pour prot�ger les pr�tentions � l'originalit� de d'Alembert contre celles de Clairaut. Comme ce fut souvent le cas, la m�thode de d'Alembert �tait math�matiquement plus solide, mais celle de Clairaut �tait plus facilement utilisable par les astronomes". DSB I, 114. Exemplaire complet des "Nouvelles Tables de la Lune par M. d'Alembert" qui occupent la fin du dernier tome avec sa propre pagination; ces 32 derni�res pages manquent souvent. Lalande, p. 453 et 459. "On trouve dans le premier volume des recherches savantes sur le probl�me des trois corps. Le troisi�me volume contient beaucoup de recherches sur la construction des tables de la lune." Tr�s bel exemplaire. -.
