‎Both first edition.These memoirs ""Research concerning the precession of the eqinoxes and of the nutation of the earth's axis"" and ""On the parallaxe of the Moon, with respect to its elevation and azimuth, under the hypothesis of a spherical earth"" played an importent role in the confirmation of Newton's theory of gravitation by using analytical methods instead of geometrical. - Eneström, Euler Bibliography E 171 a.
