The paper on Capillarity is the last version of this theory in which he refined it to take account of the effect of heat in reducing the attractive force between the particles of a liquid. "The net attractive force was now taken as the difference between the innate attraction (the only force considered in the supplement to the "Mecanique celeste") and a repulsive force that was supposed to be caused by the presence of heat."(DSB). - Using the theory of Boscovich, "who assumed that between every two ultimate particles and along the lines connecting them forces act which are attractive for some distances and repulsive for others. Using this theory, with the added requirements that that the molecular forces diminish rapidly with increase of the distances between the molecules, Laplace was able to develop his theory of capillarity (referring to the offered paper)."(Timoshenko "History of the Strenghts of Material", p. 104).The 2 papers here offered on probability applied, were both incorporated into the third edition of "Theoriques analytique des probabilities" (1820).

First appearance of Huggin's series of spectra done with his new spectroscope made of six prism of heavy glass as a preliminary investigation to the work with the spectroscopy of the stars with the star-spectroscope, as it was necessary to have convenient maps of the spectra of terrestrial elements.

These maps were published in the paper offered."William Huggins (1824-1910), English astronomer, a pioneer in spectroscopy and photography. He examined spectroscopically the chemical constitution of stars and comets, and the gaseous nature of planetary and diffuse nebulae; he applied the Doppler Principle to the measurement of the radial velocities of stars, and published an atlas of representative stellar spectra" (Ripley: Source Book in Astronomy).
