The Earth's Motion Of Rotation: Including The Theory Of Precession And Nutation is a book written by Charles Hartwell H. Cheyne in 1867. The book focuses on the Earth's rotation and the theory of precession and nutation. Cheyne provides a detailed analysis of the Earth's motion and how it affects the planet's climate and geography. The book covers topics such as the Earth's axis of rotation, the equinoxes and solstices, the motion of the stars, and the effects of the Earth's rotation on ocean currents and weather patterns. Cheyne also discusses the history of the study of the Earth's rotation and the various theories that have been proposed throughout history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of the Earth's rotation and its impact on the planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

PREFACE. I~ offering to the student a treatment of the Problem of the earth's rotation somewhat different from that whieh has been usually given in elementary text-books, a few words of explanation are necessal�y. The FJRST PART consists of an application of the method of the variation of clements to the general problem of rotation. That the fanTIuIal for calculating these clements are identical in the motions both of translation and rotation, appeared so remarkable, that it might be well to present the latter in a form easily accessible. .Af3 far as I a.m aware, an elementary investigation of these formulre bas not yet been given; in attempting to' supply this, I ha.ve_adopted a method somewhat similar to that which I have given for the correspouding equations of the motion of translation, in an Elementary Trreatise on the Planetary Theory. 1'he striking analogy, thus developed, between the solutions of problems, in appearance so dissimilar, may, I -hope, lead to a
