Although of little value now as a hittory of the science, the work is still in much demand for the large amount or 

 valuable original information it contains.

A collection and reprint of those astronomical tables most frequently used (some rare and difficult to obtain), and 

 all revised or re-computed. The above copy contains the Appendix, dated Jan. 1829. 



'His revision of star-catalogues alone entitled him, in Sir John Herschel's opinion, to rank among the greatest 

 benefactors to astronomy.'-— Z). N. B.

 Proper Motions, and Logarithmic Constants for computing Precession, Aberration and Nutation ; 

 also Preface on their Construction and Application, 4to. boards, uncut (very scarce), £7. 1845 



234 Another Copy, calf gilt (nice copy), £7. 7* 



The celebrated British Association Star Catalogue, revised, after the author's death, by W. S. Stratford, James 

 Chai.i.is, ff.r.s., and others. 



' Still in high repute . . . The value of this catalogue was much enhanced by the uniform system of nomenclalure 

 adopted throughout. This material improvement was the result of Daily's severe labours in revising the constoUatioi .«, 

 and marshalling into recognisable order the .stars composing them.'— Jl/?.-s A. M. CUrlce. 



'The matciials of its construction are derived from all the trustworthy catalogues that have been executed since the 

 time of Bradley. This catalogue is distinguished from the catalogue of the Astronomical Society (7. v. infra) in two 

 important i)articulars. In the first plice, the secular variation of precession, both in the right ascension and declination 

 is given for each star. Secondly the proper motions of the stars are assigned with as great a degree of iifamess to trutli, 

 as tl.e existing state of sidereal astronomy allowed. This catalogue has proved of vast service to astronomers in every 

 part of the civilised Avorld.' — Prof. H. Grant. 



235 The Doctrine of Interest and Annuities analytically investigated and explained, with 



several useful Tables connected with the Subject, plate, 4to. hf calf {Joints cracked) ; scarce,

A wholly different work from the author's ' Doctrine of Life-Annuities ' (a fact unknown to Lowndes), and one of the 

 most important works on the subject. The lable ajjpended is Smart's.

This would seem to have been the author's own copy ; it contains a large number of MS. corrections and additions 

 apparently by him.

 tically explained, with Tables, and Appendix of a new method of Calculating and Arranging 

 such Tables, 3 vols. 8vo. in 1, hf. ca^/ (scarce), £1. 55 1813 



Bkst Edition of this celebrated work, c'omimsing chapter XIV. (on the several Life-Assurance Companies), and the 

 Appendix (an exposition of Barrett's mode of computing life tables), not contained in the previous editions or in the 

 reprint of 1864.
