Tome II pp. 117-140 and 2 folded engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing. "Euler rejects the view of de Mairan that the zodiacal light is the cause of the tails of comets and the northern lights; instead Euler argues that zodiacal light is the results of particles emanating from the sun the tails of comets is the results of particles emanating from the bodies of the comets and that the northern lights is the results of particles emanating from the earth.he also infers the existance of a solar atmosphere from the existance of sun-spots. He calculates the form of the solar atmosphere and arrives at a cubic equation." Based on Aiton's introduction to Opera Omnia. Enestrom: 103. </em> unknown

1797AQ23156London: Printed for the Corps by Bunney thompson and Co. 1797. vii 1 232 5 238-264 8 277-281pp 1. With six leaves partially misbound blank but comprehended in the pagination. Contemporary gilt-ruled dark green calf A.E.G. Rubbed marked and bumped. Marbled endpapers very occasional inked corrections to text. A scare late-eighteenth century edition of the standing orders of one of the most exclusive military organisations in Georgian England; the Light Horse Volunteers or L.H.V. Revived in 1794 in response to a growing invasion threat from Revolutionary France along with numerous Mounted and infantry Volunteer Corps across England the L.H.V. was composed almost exclusively of wealthy and titled men of the capital. As this volume details the corps were very well provisioned and membership was secured by recommendation and election. Corps rules established that mounts were stabled at Worship St. or Gray's Inn Lane and uniforms were to be secured from specified retailers such as Hawkes Piccadilly for helmets. All early editions are uncommon and presumably printed in small runs for members. ESTC records copies of this second revised edition at two locations in the British Isles Bishopsgate Institute and BL and none elsewhere. ESTC T130561. Second edition with alterations and additions. 24mo. Printed for the Corps, by Bunney, thompson, and Co. unknown
