FIRST EDITION OF EULER'S FIRST TREATISE ON ASTRONOMY: ‘a fundamental work on calculation of orbits’ (DSB). It introduced new methods of investigating planetary perturbations and enabled progress in the accurate calculation of latitude and longitude. The great French mathematician Laplace advised to ‘read Euler’ as he is a ‘master of us all’. Houzeau & Lancaster 11948.
