E224 -- Avertissement
(Notice)
Summary:
According to Eneström, this "relates to the treatise “Éclaircissemens sur les erreurs qu’on peut attribuer à la mesure du degré en France” by
Lacaille that comes before the “Avertissiment” on pp. 337-346, where Euler’s treatise listed above as E215 is partly
criticised. Euler maintains that the earth can be considered an ellipsoid by certain investigations."
