Computer algebra is used to derive analytical expressions for the elements of a secular perturbation theory of the second order in the masses. The linear part of this theory is incorporated into the standard Laplace-Lagrange solution which is then applied to the motion of the uranian satellites. This enables the effects of mean motion near-resonances in this system to be modelled. The results are in very good agreement with the filtered output of a numerical integration by Malhotra et al. (1989A&A...221..348M). The additional complexities of studying the outer solar system using a similar approach are discussed.
