1693373381Alexis-Hubert Jaillot Paris 1693. Unframed Print. Very Good Condition. This richly allegorical frontispiece heralds Le Neptune Franois as a monument of maritime aspiration. At its centre Neptune the Roman god of the sea sits enthroned trident aloft amidst a teeming aquatic pageant of tritons nereids and fantastical sea beasts. A radiant celestial figure above unveils the title banner signalling divine favour while a distant fleet underscores Frances burgeoning naval prowess under Louis XIV.Commissioned during the height of French ambitions to dominate the seas the plates theatrical excess belies its practical function as the portal to a technical atlas. Though the charts within were largely Dutch in origin this frontispiece reframes them through the lens of French royal propaganda. Engraving 37 x 51 cms; sheet 47 x 61 cms Text is in French.

Contemporary half brown calf and marbled boards black spine label. Ownership signature of Alexander Evans on title page. Rubbed. Very good. First edition with half-title. pp. i-ii 1-3 4-254. 1 vols. 8vo. "I show that that one can only account for the movements of Uranus by introducing the perturbing action of a new planet" p. 5.<br /> French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier 1811-77 successfully predicted the location of an eighth solar planet now called Neptune. The seventh planet Uranus had been discovered telescopically in 1781 by William Herschel. Le Verrier demonstrated that the perturbations of the orbit of Uranus could be explained by the existence of a further celestial body and performed the mathematical calculations. The existence of the planet was confirmed by observation in September 1846 I.G. Galle writing to Le Verrier from Berlin "The planet whose position you communicated really exsts" p. 248. This book gathers four memoranda of "partial publications" read at the Academie des Sciences between November 1845 and October 1846 with a fifth part dated 5 October 1846. He notes that "this success permits us to hope that after thirty or forty years of observations of the new planet one will be able to use it in turn for the discovery of the planet after it in terms of distance from the Sun. And so on; sadly one will come upon bodies invisible by reason of their immense distance from the Sun but whose orbits will over centuries be charted with great exactness through the theory of secular inequalities" p. 254.<br /> <br /> "undeniably one of the major scientific events of the nineteenth century" Lequeux p. 22. <br /> <br /> Uncommon and with nice contemporary American provenance the original owner likely being Alexander Evans 1818-1888 engineer and attorney member of Congress from Maryland 1847-53 and an amateur astronomer who travelled to Illinois to observe the total eclipse in 1869.
