''Report on the History of the Discovery of Neptune'' is a book written by Benjamin Apthorp Gould in 1850. The book provides a detailed account of the discovery of Neptune, the eighth planet in our solar system. Gould, an American astronomer, traces the history of the search for the elusive planet, which began in the late 18th century. He describes the mathematical calculations and observations made by astronomers such as John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier, who independently predicted the existence of a new planet based on the perturbations of Uranus’ orbit. The book also delves into the controversy surrounding the discovery, as both Adams and Le Verrier claimed credit for the discovery. Gould provides a comprehensive analysis of the evidence and ultimately concludes that both astronomers played a significant role in the discovery of Neptune. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the discovery of our solar system’s planets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
