The experiments demonstrated the comparative advantages and disadvantages arising from the form of all kinds of navigable vessels, thus aiding in shipbuilding design, and were the first practical verification in England of Euler's theorems on the resistance of fluids. Only a limited number of copies of the present work were printed, at the expense of Henry Beaufoy, the author's son, and gratuitously distributed to public bodies and individuals interested in naval architecture.

First Separate Edition. "Among [the prominent German astronomer's works that contributed to geophysics were his investigations on the length of the simple seconds' pendulum (1826), the length of the seconds' pendulum for Berlin (1835), and the determination of the acceleration of gravity derived from observing the pendulum. Bessel achieved the standardization of the units of length then in use by introducing a standard measure in Prussia, the so-called Toise (1 Toise = 1.949063 meters). The necessity of a standard of length had become apparent to him during his work on triangulation in East Prussia, as did the necessity for an international organization to define the units of measures. This need led to the founding of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures." (DSB)
