Studies of Pallas in the Early Nineteenth Century, Clifford J. Cunningham's 2016 book from Springer, is a scholarly history of the early study of the second asteroid discovered, Pallas. Its strength is that it is part of Cunningham's peer-reviewed Historical Studies in Asteroid Research series, built from archival correspondence and period scientific papers. Its limit is that it is a specialist history of science work, aimed at readers already interested in the technical astronomical history rather than a general introduction.
