First edition of the French translation by Nicolas-Maurice Chompré (1750-1825), of this important work on trigonometry by Antonio Cagnoli (1743-1816), originally wrtitten in Italian under the title Trigonometria piana e sferica, published in Paris in the same year 1786 as the French translation. A second edition of the translation appeared in 1808. The book is refered to as a ' ... fu uns della migliori dell' epoca' and really sets the seal on his work. Cagnoli was a Venetian working in Verona where he had built his own observatory, and he was later appointed by Napoleon at the observatory in Milano.

Very good copy.
