Urbain Le Verrier, mathématicien et physicien, est à l'origine de la découverte, en 1846, d'une « nouvelle planète, non encore nommée et responsable des perturbations inexpliquées d'Uranus ». Ce sont ses travaux qui vont permettre à l'astronome berlinois Johann Galle de localiser Neptune. Elu député de la Manche en 1839, « sous l'étiquette des Amis de l'ordre », il est à l'Assemblée « un promoteur zélé du télégraphe et des chemins de fer (…) Partisan du coup d’État du 2 décembre, Le Verrier est sous le Second Empire l’un des principaux soutiens du pouvoir au sein du monde savant ».

Together 5 vols., 8vo., First Editions, with 31 figures, and 30 folding maps and plans in separate wallets; navy cloth gilt, upper boards blocked in gilt, gilt backs [text volumes], original printed wrappers [map, diagram and errata wallets], a fine copy in the publisher's pictorial slip-case as issued. Admiralty Battle Summaries were written relatively soon after the events they describe (the last of the present collection was produced in 1952) and are based on official documentary material which did not become available to the public at large until 1968. They were written by authors who understood thoroughly their topics, as follows: Operation 'Neptune': Commander L.J. Pitrcairn-Jones; The Campaign in North-West Europe: Commander J.H. Lloyd-Owen; Operation 'Dragoon': Commander W.E.H. Westall. In due course, the volumes became basic reference sources for the authors of the Cabinet Office series of OFFICIAL HISTORIES OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR
