The theories laid down here is also called Euler's second theory and it is the most interesting. It was of the greatest importtence as a basis for later developments."He applied his mathematics to astronomy working out the nature of some perturbations being in this respect the precursor of Lagrange and Laplace. He began to replace the geometric methods of proof used by Galileo and Newton with the algebraic a tendency carried to its conclusion by Lagrange. In particular he worked on lunar theory that is on the analysis of the exact motion of the moon the complications of which have been the despair of astronomers and mathematicians since the time of Kepler. - Eneström: 398 399 400 a. 401. </em> unknown

His theory was more or less neglected by the scientific community at his time. The kinetic theory remained dormant and forgotten after Euler's and Bernouilli's work "until 1816 when Herapath proposed a theory which is essential Bernoulli's. Unfortunately he chose to define temperature as being proportional to the momentum rather than the kinetic energy of molecules. Herapath was the first to show more or less that kinetic theory can provide simple explanations for the changes of state diffusion and the propagation of sound."Trousdell "Essayas in the History of Mechanics" pp. 283 ff.Euler Bernoulli Herapath and Waterston may be considered the principal scientists who prior to 1850 attempted a more or less complete mathematical treatment of gases based on a set of molecular postulates. Jamie Wisniak."Having published a preliminary notice of his theory in the Annals of Philosophy in 1816 Herapath submitted a detailed account to the Royal Society in 1820. Davy who was elected to the presidency of the Society in November of that year was primarily responsible for the fate of the paper. Although Davy was already known as an advocate of the qualitative idea that heat is molecular motion he found Herapath’s quantitative development too speculative and complicated; he rejected the hypothesis of an absolute temperature implying an "absolute zero" of cold. Having been told that his paper would not be accepted for publication in the Philosophical Transactions Herapath withdrew it and published it instead in the Annals of Philosophy in 1821. Five years later he launched an attack on Davy in the Times of London accusing him of circulating unfounded criticisms of his experimental work which prevented its publication. Although Davy ignored a series of letters and challenges published in the Times Herapath later claimed Davy’s resignation from the presidency of the Royal Society 1827 as a victory for himself."DSB. </em> hardcover

Pp. 397-406. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper by Adams - famous for his co-discovery with Le Verrier of Neptune in 1846 - in which he introduces new mathematical methods in dealing with the pertubations of the Moon raising a sharp scientific controversy and correcting Laplace's great memoir of 1788."He Adams was elected a fellow of Pembroke College in 1853 and shortly afterward he presented to the Royal Society a remarkable paper on the secular acceleration of the moon’s mean motion. This quantity was thought to have been definitively investigated by Pierre Simon de Laplace in 1788 but Adams showed that Laplace’s solution was incorrect. In particular Laplace had ignored a variation in solar eccentricity that introduces into the differential equations for the moon’s motion a series of additional terms. Adams calculated the second term of the series on which the secular acceleration depends as 3771/64m4 the value computed from Laplace’s work was 2187/128 m4. The effect of the correction was to reduce the figure for the moon’s secular acceleration by about half from 10.58 to 5.70.This paper caused a sharp scientific controversy marked by angry chauvinism on the part of several French astronomers. Their attacks stimulated a number of independent investigations of the subject all of which confirmed Adams’ result. The matter was definitely settled in his favor by 1861 but not without hard feelings."DSB. </em> unknown
