The Earth's Motion of Rotation: Including the Theory of Precession and Nutation is a scientific book written by Charles Hartwell Horne Cheyne and published in 1867. The book explores the various aspects of the Earth's rotation, including the theory of precession and nutation. Cheyne delves into the scientific explanation of the Earth's movement, explaining the forces that cause it and the effects it has on our planet. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the Earth's rotation, including the measurement of its speed and the factors that affect it. The book also includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the complex scientific concepts. The Earth's Motion of Rotation is an essential read for anyone interested in the science of the Earth's movement and the forces that shape our planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

PREFACE. I~ offering to the student a treatment of the Problem of the earth's rotation somewhat different from that whieh has been usually given in elementary text-books, a few words of explanation are necessal·y. The FJRST PART consists of an application of the method of the variation of clements to the general problem of rotation. That the fanTIuIal for calculating these clements are identical in the motions both of translation and rotation, appeared so remarkable, that it might be well to present the latter in a form easily accessible. .Af3 far as I a.m aware, an elementary investigation of these formulre bas not yet been given; in attempting to' supply this, I ha.ve_adopted a method somewhat similar to that which I have given for the correspouding equations of the motion of translation, in an Elementary Trreatise on the Planetary Theory. 1'he striking analogy, thus developed, between the solutions of problems, in appearance so dissimilar, may, I -hope, lead to a
