1834 Paris, Paulin, 1834. in-12.reliure demi veau,dos lisse orné, 4ff. 529pp. , Première Edition Française donnée par le mathématicien Augustin Cournot. Un chapitre important (pp. 74 à 124) est consacré à la description des Instruments Astronomiques (Télescopes, Pendules, Chronomètres, Niveaux etc.). 3 planches hors-texte et nombreuses figures dans le texte (10 pour le chapitre sur les Instruments). Cette édition contient à la fin un travail mathématique original de Cournot. Sous le titre de "Sur la Distribution des Orbites Cométaires dans l'Espace" c'est une application de la théorie des probabilités et du concept de "valeur moyenne" aux phénomènes de l'Astronomie. C'est sans doute un des premiers travaux de Cournot sur les probabilités. Rousseurs.

London, Lockyer Davis, and Peter Elmsly, 1782. 4to. In recent marbled paper wrappers. Extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"", vol. 71, read April 26, 1781. Including title-page of volume. Leaves reinforced in margin. (2), V-VII, 492-501 pp. + three folded plates.
First edition of Herschel's seminal paper being the first recorded discovery of a new planet. Herschel's ""discovery [was] unprecedented in human history. [...] Herschel's ""new"" planet demonstrated that there is much more to the universe - even to our tiny solar system - than the eye can discern on its own."" (Lemonick, The Georgian Star).British astronomer William Herschel commenced ""his first review of the heavens, in which he examined stars down to the fourth magnitude. In August of that year he began a second review, more systematic and extensive than the first, and concentrated on the discovery of double stars"" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography)In March 1781, during his search for double stars, Herschel noticed an object appearing as a disk. Herschel originally thought it was a comet or a stellar disc, which he believed he might actually resolve. He reported the sighting to Nevil Maskelyne the Astronomer Royal. He made many more observations of it, and afterwards Russian Academician Anders Lexell computed the orbit and found it to be probably planetary. Herschel agreed, determining that it must be a planet beyond the orbit of Saturn. He called the new planet the ""Georgian star"" (Georgium sidus) after King George III, which also brought him favour"" the name did not hold. In France, where reference to the British king was to be avoided if possible, the planet was known as ""Herschel"" until the name ""Uranus"" was universally adopted. The same year, Herschel was awarded the Copley Medal and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1782, he was appointed ""The King's Astronomer"" (not to be confused with the Astronomer Royal).

First appearance of Herschel's second large paper on sattelites. Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, and this paper is concerned with the sattelites of Uranus (The Georgiean Planet).""His two long papers of 1798 and 1815 (the paper offered) were decvoted almost entirely to sattelites. In 1798 he made the astonishing announcement that the motion of the two known satellites of Uranus was retrograde. he also believed, as the result ofnumerous difficult observations, that he had discovered four additional sattelites, but their existence has not been confirmed.""(DSB).
London, Peter Elmsly, 1795. 4to. In recent marbled paper wrappers. Extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"". Including title-page of volume. Leaves reinforced in margin. Light offsetting from folded plates as usual. Plate depicting the full telescope with professional repair to lower right corner. (4), 347-410 pp. + 19 folded plates.
First appearance of William Herschel account of his great 40-foot telescope. It was the largest telescope in the world for 50 years and it was possibly used to discover Enceladus and Mimas, the 6th and 7th moons of Saturn. The plate of the 40-foot telescope fully assembled remains as one of the great icons of astronomy. ""It is well known that King George III granted £2,000 for the construction of the 40-foot reflector, and that this was supplemented by a further £2,000 plus other expenses. Only recently has it become evident that the second grant was made in the context of a serious row between monarch and astronomer. Herschel was of course in uncharted territory in attempting the construction of such a monster. The king had understood that the first £2,000 was the total required, and when this proved not to be the case he may well have suspected Herschel of deliberately underestimating the costs involved when making his original application. Although the king acceded-reluctantly-to the second request, from then on Herschel was required to account for every last penny of expenditure, and was told in no uncertain terms that no further grant would be forthcoming.The 40-foot reflector proved cumbersome and its results did not justify the labor and cost of its construction. What has only recently been appreciated is the extent to which it became a millstone around its creator's neck. From Herschel's point of view, it lost its principal raison d'être in 1790 when an observation with the 20-foot convinced him of the existence of ""true nebulosity."" But to the king it was an enduring symbol of his patronage of science, and visitors to Windsor Castle were invited to make the short journey to Slough to see the world's biggest telescope."" (DSB)

First appearance of Herschel's last paper on Saturn and its ring. He determined Saturns period of rotation and he discovered two more inner satellites. One of these, Iapetus, he found to perform its rotation, but he believed, wrongly, that the rings were solid.
