Scarce first edition of Heine's main work. He treated the problem of potential for the exterior of an ellipsoid of revolution and for the shell between confocal ellipsoids of revolution, introduced spherical harmonics of the second kind, which provide a second independent solution of Legendre's problem. The second edition of this importent work (1878-81), was a standard compendium on spherical functions for many years.

Scarce second enlarged edition. ""His greatest work, Handbuch der Kugelfunctionen was first published in 1861. The second edition (1878-81) - the offered item - of Heine's book was still a standard compendium on spherical functions well into the 1930's if one considers the the frequency with which it was quoted"" that this edition has never been reprinted, however,belies this impression.""
