Book III is a verbal précis of the laws of motion as understood in eighteenth-century rational mechanics with special reference to astronomy and hydrostatics. In Book IV Laplace in effect summarized his own work in gravitational mechanics. Much of it consists of simplification of the prefatory sections to the published memoirs. The topics are perturbations in planetary motions the shape of the earth the attraction of spheroids and the rings of Saturn motions of the tides and atmosphere the moons of Jupiter precession and lunar motions. Only Book V contains material that Laplace had not written up in technical form or presupposed. It gives an overview of the history of astronomy and concludes with the speculation since called the nebular hypothesis and another on the nature of the universe in outer space." - DSB.

Duprat & others An VII 1798-1825. First edition and a complete set with all the supplements. 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 stable. 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.

‎Bien complet de la planche dépliante au tome IV. Édition originale de l'un des ouvrages scientifiques parus les plus importants depuis les "Principia" de Newton. Durant plus d'un siècle il a été la bible de tous les astronomes, et encore aujourd'hui, en dehors des corrections relativistes, les astronomes contemporains utilisent des méthodes qui pour la plupart figurent dans l'ouvrage de Laplace. "Les deux premiers volumes - publiés en 1798 - du "Traité de mécanique céleste" divisé en cinq livres, exposent des rappels de mécanique rationnelle, la loi de la gravitation universelle, la figure des corps célestes, la théorie des marées, les mouvements des corps autours de leur centre de gravité (ainsi que la précession et la nutation). Le troisième volume - 1802 - est divisé en deux livres, le livre VI sur la théorie des mouvements planétaires et le livre VII sur la théorie de la Lune. Le quatrième - 1805 - volume est divisée en trois livres, le livre VIII sur la théorie des satellites de Jupiter, Saturne et Uranus, le livre IX sur les comètes, et le livre X qui traite de la réfraction astronomique et d'autres questions annexes. Le cinquième volume - publié en 1825 - est divisé en six livres essentiellement consacrés à des notices historiques sur des sujets traités dans les quatre premiers volumes, mais y figurent aussi des recherches originales en particuliers sur l'attraction des sphères." En Français dans le texte 201. Bien complet du "Supplément au dixième livre du traité de mécanique céleste. Sur l'action capillaire" et du "Supplément à la théorie de l'action capillaire" avec son propre titre et son faux-titre (1807); mais sans le petit supplément du tome III. Les volumes I et II sont imprimés sur un papier portant, en filigrane, "MECANIQUE CELESTE". Quelques rousseurs, plus prononcées au titre et à la table (uniquement) du volume cinq.

‎Recherches 1.o. sur l'intégration des Équations différentielles aux différences finies & sur leur usage dans la théorie des hasards. 2.o. sur le principe de la Gravitation universelle & sur les inégalités séculaires des Planètes qui en dépendent.‎

‎Paris Imprimerie Royale 1776. 4to. Extract from "Mémoires de Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Année 1773. Pp. 37-232. a. 1 folded engraved plate. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Laplace's famous double-memoir in which he made a coupling of probability theory with astronomy. The first memoir here is his third memoir on probability a follow-up of his groundbreaking paper "Mémoire sur la Probabilité des Causes par les Évènemens" from the same year; the main portion of the paper deals with the theory of chances. He solves different problems that of odd and even a solid has p equal faces which are numbered 22.p: required the probability that in the course of n throws the faces will occur in the order of 12.p. a complicate problem arising with more players the Problem of Points in the case of two players and with 3 players on Duration and Play."The present memoir may be regarded as a collection of examples in the history of Finite Differences"Todhunter.The second memoir constitutes Laplace's "FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PIECE ON THE MECHANICS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM" and his theory of the gravitational force. His modifications of Newton's laws set forth here became the foundation for his developed celestial mechanics."A close reading of the astronomical part of the dual memoir Laplace’s first comprehensive piece on the mechanics of the solar system serves to temper the conventional image of a vindicator of Newton’s law of gravity against the evidence for decay of motion in the planets. Nothing is said about apparent anomalies gathering toward a cosmic catastrophe;on the contrary the state of the universe is assumed to be steady. The problem is not whether the phenomena can be deduced from the law of universal gravity but how to do it. Since that appeared to be impossible on a strict Newtonian construction of the evidence Laplace proposed modifying the law of gravity slightly. He proceeded to try out the notion that gravity is a force propagated in time instead of instantaneously. Its quantity at a given point would then depend on the velocity of bodies as well as on their mass and distance. Even more interesting the reasoning in this argument was not that of normal mathematical astronomy but was of the type that he brought to physics in other much later writings. Lastly in a problem that he did handle in the tradition of theoretical astronomy namely in the secular variations in the mean motions of Jupiter and Saturn the conclusion is that the mutual attraction of the plants cannot account for them contrary to what we expect from Mécanique céleste."DSB. </em> unknown‎
