Excerpt from Histoire Abrégée de l'Astronomie
Nous avons cru nécessaire de donner à la Méca nique céleste un développement en rapport avec l'im portance qu'elle a prise avec et depuis Laplace; aussi, les travaux des géomètres et des analystes qui en ont fait l'objet de leur étude se trouvent exposés dans ce Volume d'une manière assez étendue pour mon trer leur talent, en laissant de côté les détails qui n'intéresscnt que les mathématiciens.
