Madler had an appointment at the observatory at Dorpat where he carried out his observations. He is best known for particpation in the authorship and publication of the lunar map. The work offered here is his primary effort in celestial dynamics and cosmology. Although his theory was ultimately shown to be incorrect his approach and methodology is considered to be of value (see his entry in NDB). (truncated)
