Excerpt from Theory of the Motion of the Heavenly Bodies Moving About the Sun in Conic Sections: A Translation of Gauss's Theoria Motus After this pamphlet was completed, the opinion was expressed by scientific friends that a complete translation of the Theoria Moms should be undertaken, not only to meet the wants of the American Ephemem's, but those also of Astronomers generally, to whom this work (now become very rare and costly) is a standard and permanent authority. This undertaking has been particularly encouraged by the Smithsonian Institution, which has signified its high estimate of the importance of the work, by contributing to its publication. And by the authority of Hon. J. C. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, this Translation is printed by the joint contributions of the Nautical Almanac and the Smith sohian Institution.
