Houzeau/Lanc. 10117. - DSB II, 99. - Honeyman Coll. 311. - ADB II, 563. - Erste Ausgabe, selten. - "The position of Bradley's stars valid for 1755 were published by Bessel as 'Fundamenta astronomiae pro anno 1755' (1818). This work also gives the proper motions of the stars, as derived from the observations of Bradley, of Piazzi, and of Bessel himself. It constitutes a milestone in the history of astronomical observations, for until then positions of stars could not be given with comparable accuracy: through Bessel's work, Bradley's observations were made to mark the beginning of modern astrometry. During this investigation Bessel became an admirer of the art of observation as practiced by Bradley ..."
