I recently bought a kids classic version of the book for my son. Then I realized I never read the original, only an abridged translation decades ago. Now I must find and read the original for myself.

Do you happen to recall which version? I've picked up a couple kid's books/playsets but mine is ready for a chapter-book type version soon. FWIW my favorite reading copy is the UC Press version based on the incredible Arion version (https://www.ucpress.edu/books/moby-dick-or-the-whale/paper) but any edition based on the Northwestern-Newberry text is solid.

The book by Laplace is titled «Traité de mécanique céleste» (not "Méchanique Céleste").
