1st Edition. 4to. pp. 3 p.l., 254. 2 engraved plates. contemporary sprinkled calf, rebacked (wear to edges of covers, 2 library bookplates with release stamps, some light foxing & browning to edges of leaves). First Separate Edition. "Among [the prominent German astronomer s works that contributed to geophysics were his investigations on the length of the simple seconds pendulum (1826), the length of the seconds pendulum for Berlin (1835), and the determination of the acceleration of gravity derived from observing the pendulum. Bessel achieved the standardization of the units of length then in use by introducing a standard measure in Prussia, the so-called Toise (1 Toise = 1.949063 meters). The necessity of a standard of length had become apparent to him during his work on triangulation in East Prussia, as did the necessity for an international organization to define the units of measures. This need led to the founding of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures." (DSB).
