He left his collection to the King. He also studied the archaeological remains of the Gauls and Volumes III-VII are titled "Recueil d'Antiquites Egyptiennes Etrusques Grecques Romaines et Gauloises." Bound in full calf the spines in six compartments gilt with rococo floral tools and two morocco lettering-pieces. Wear to extremities; one board detached from each of Volumes III and III; rear board of VII loose; some superficial splits to hinges and abrasions to boards.

6925Six folding engraved plates. Title in red & black. 1 p.l. 308 pp. 8vo cont. mottled sheep flat spine nicely gilt contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Lausanne & Geneva: M.M. Bousquet 1744. First edition of this important book in which Cheseaux 1718-51 grandson of Crouzas and a fellow the Royal Society of London first stated what was to become known as "the paradox of Cheseaux": "With an infinite and uniform distribution of stars throughout space the night sky should shine with a brightness corresponding to their average surface brightness." A number of notable astronomers have struggled with this problem including Halley Olbers Struve and Herschel. "The magnificent comet of 1744 was both bright and unusual in that it was reliably reported that it had multiple tails spread out like a fan. The Swiss astronomer Jean Philippe Loys de Cheseaux after whom the comet is often named began his observations on December 13 1743 and computed a parabolic orbit based on his own observations through March 1 1744.Before morning twilight on March 7 and 8 1744 Cheseaux reported seeing a multiple-tail system with 6 distinct rays extending above the horizon."-Yeoman Comets pp. 161-62. This work also contains the observations of Cassini and Jean Louis Calandrini. Nice copy. ❧ Lalande p. 425. hardcover books
