Pingre, Chanoine regulier de Ste-Genevieve, nomme par l'Academie pour cooperer a la verification desdits instrumens, de concert avec M. Messier, Astronome de la Marine, 1st edition, Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1768, [2] + viii + 316 + [4] pages, with 5 engraved plates (including 4 folding) and folding engraved map, recent antique-style blind-decorated full calf with contrasting central lozenge to each cover, gilt spine with blind tooled decoration between raised bands, contrasting morocco title label, 4to National Maritime Museum Catalogue I, 1149a. Norman 1335.The present work, largely composed by Alexandre-Gui Pingre (1711-1796) and Charles Messier (1730-1817) is the report of a voyage in the frigate l'Aurore, fitted out by Courtanvaux at his own expense, to assess the various competitors for the prize offered by the French Academie des Sciences for the first successful method of accurately measuring longitude. The main contender was the Horloger du Roi, Pierre Le Roy (1717-1785). He had invented a completely original marine chronometer in the 1750s, which he perfected over the next decade and presented to Louis XV in 1766. In 1767 Le Roy entered his machine, which "embodied all the principles upon which later marine chronometers were constructed", in the competition. The voyage between Le Havre and Amsterdam was the first practical trial to which it was subjected. Le Roy was awarded a double prize in 1768 for his chronometer and for his memoir describing it. The first four chapters give a detailed account of the different methods employed from the 15th to the 18th centuries to determine longitude. The rest of the work describes the voyages and the experiments carried out, and finishes with a description of Le Roy's marine clocks. (1)
