In this monumental and fundamental astronomical work, Laplace - the "Newton of France" codified and developed the theories and achievements of Newton, Euler, d'Alembert, and Lagrange. "Laplace maintained that while all planets revolve round the sun their eccentricities and the inclinations of their orbits to each other will always remain small. He also showed that all these irregularities in movements and positions in the heavens were self-correcting, so that the whole solar system appeared to be mechanically stabile. He showed that the universe was really a great self-regulating machine and the whole solar system could continue on its existing plan for an immense period of time. This was a long step forward from the Newtonian uncertainties in this respect..Laplace also offered a brilliant explanation of the secular inequalities of the mean motion of the moon about the earth - a problem which Euler and Lagrange had failed to solve...He also investigated the theory of the tides and calculated from them the mass of the moon" (Printing & the Mind of Man 252). - 5 vol. and 4 suppl. in 6 vol. With 1 folding copper plate. Contemp. halfleather with marbled covers and title on spine (rubbed, bumped, edges lightly chafed) and 1 modern halfleather. - First print of the first ed., as can be seen by the year date "An VII" for vol. 1-2. Rarely complete, since published over a period of 30 years. - PMM 252. Grolier Horblit 63. Sparrow 125. Dibner 14. Roberts-T. 197: "Laplace's masterpiece".
