1809In-8°, pp XIV, 80, brossura editoriale. Esemplare in barbe assai fresco. ZACH, Franz Xaver von. - Astronomo, nato a Pressburg (Bratislava) il 4 (o il 13) giugno 1754. Ufficiale nell'esercito austriaco, partecipò alla misura del grado intrapresa, sotto Maria Teresa, dal gesuita J. Liesganig. Abbandonato il servizio militare, risiedette qualche anno a Parigi e Londra, e vi strinse relazioni personali con Laplace, Herschel e altri illustri astronomi. Nel 1786 fu chiamato dal duca Ernesto II di Sassonia-Coburgo-Gotha alla direzione del nuovo osservatorio di Seeberg presso Gotha, che tenne per quasi un dodicennio. Dopo la morte del duca (1806), seguì la duchessa vedova nei suoi lunghi viaggi in Francia e in Italia, dove entrò in corrispondenza con gli astronomi italiani di quel tempo. Al principio del 1815 fu chiamato a Napoli dal re Gioacchino Murat perché vi dirigesse l'organizzazione dell'osservatorio di Capodimonte, di cui era stata iniziata la costruzione fin dal 1812; ma alla restaurazione dei Borboni fu costretto a lasciare l'ufficio. Alla morte della duchessa (1827), il Z. tornò in Francia e morì a Parigi il 4 (o il 2) settembre 1832.

1880ref. 42402London Harrison and Sons 1880. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1879 Vol. 171 - Part II. Pp. 539-593. First printing of a main paper by the "Father of Geophysics" in which he shows that the effect of the tides was to force a retreat of the moon from the earth - thus going backward in time in the history of the earth he concludes that the earth had been in contact with the moon and this represents the time at which the whirling earth threw off a portion of its outer crust by centrifugal action loosing angular motion in that way."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. unknown

First appearance of an importent paper announcing Darwin's so-called "Resonance Theory" of the origin of the moon according to which the moon might have originated from the fission of a parent earth as the result of an instability produced by resonant solar tides."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems.

Previous owner's initials on free front endpaper also another owner's name at top of title page. Very faint trace of smell of an old book. Overall a tight clean very good copy. From the Introduction: "As an instinctively religious being man is constitutionally concerned in the sublime science which more perhaps than any other department of physics has enabled him to look "through nature up to nature's God." If "an undevout astronomer is mad" the converse is at least measurably true: unastronomic piety is mad. For if science without devotion be defective because the spiritual is the necessary inspiration of the material devotion without science is also defective because the material is the necessary embodiment of the spiritual. Science without religion is a corpse; religion without science is a ghost." Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co hardcover
