The book provides a comprehensive examination of Pallas, detailing its journey from being recognized as a new planet to its reclassification within a newly identified category of celestial objects. Drawing from extensive primary sources, many newly translated into English, it features a wealth of correspondence and scientific papers, alongside excerpts from Schroeter's 1805 work. Cunningham's scholarly approach sheds light on the historical and scientific significance of Pallas in the study of asteroids.
