Sending Part XI of his own Mécanique céleste. Comments on this work.
Sends paper.
Letter of introduction to Mr. Robison, son of Edinburgh professor. Thanks PL for sending JH books 11 and 12 of LP's Mécanique céleste. Hopes to see PL's 'perturbations of Ceres and [J. F.] Encke's Comet.' JH's and James South's work on double stars verified views PL once held. Hopes François Arago will publish observations of double stars.
