Lunar Theory were given by A dams from 1860 with few intermissions until 1889. Originally their aim was to illustrate geometrically the analytical processes and thereby render them more comprehensible, and they included some elegant theorems on the geometry of conies which have since become common property; but every year several lectures were rewritten, and thus the whole fabric gradually changed into the form in which it is here presented, the form, practically, in which he gave them last. Perhaps it is superfluous to say that these Lectures stand upon a different footing to treatises that are intended to form the basis ofT ables. With such, completeness is the first object and manner of presentation is secondary. Immense as is the labour of forming a treatise of this description, there exist several that leave little to desire in respect to fulness of detail. Indeed it may be suspected that their very perfection in the quality they profess has stifled to some degree the proper development of the subject, because at first sight it suggests that there is little left to do in theL unar Theory, unless one is prepared to track down the inconsiderable errors that have eluded his Masters. This seems a mistake; the methods most suitable for the whole task adapt themselves comparatively ill to each detail of it, and there seems much that remains to be done in respect to inventing methods suitable for attacking separately, as far as they permit of separate attack, the many difficulties into which the theory divides at the outset, and thence perhaps approximating to A.
