  1. Johann Georg von Soldner and the gravitational bending of light, with an English translation of his essay on it published in 1801.Stanley L. Jaki - 1978 - Foundations of Physics 8 (11-12):927-950.
    Following Einstein's prediction of the gravitational bending of light, and in the course of experimental work aimed at its verification, only sporadic and at times misleading references have been made to Johann Georg von Soldner. In a paper published in 1804, Soldner derived the gravitational bending of light on the classical Newtonian basis and calculated its value around the sun with remarkable accuracy. Soldner's paper, inaccessible even in German, is now presented in English translation and put in the perspective of (...)

    Newton wrote in thePrincipiathat all bodies are to be regarded as subject to the principle of gravitation. Every body, however great or small, is related to every other body in the universe by a mutual attraction. It was this postulated universality of the force of gravity which contributed so greatly to the order and unity of the Newtonian world. This unity was, for its followers, an untested article of faith for nearly a century after thePrincipia. During this time the evidence (...)
