He "published the first edition of 'Théorie analytique' in 1812, at the age of 63 years. It represented the culmination of a professional lifetime of concern for the topic, and all of its text consisted of reworked versions of his earlier work. Laplace's prodigious abilities in the mathematical sciences were recognized early on, by his teachers in Normandy and by Jean d'Alembert in Paris when he was only 20" (S.M. Stigler, P.S. Laplace, Théorie analytique des probabilités, p. 329). Second mentioned is the third edition of Laplace's celebrated work on the origin and formation of the solar system.
