78 2102 Astronomy Laplace P S 
- Sl. foxed and yellowed/ browned; sm. stamp on htitle. Paper over board partly worn off.
= Houzeau/ Lancaster 8940; PMM 252; Bibliotheca Mechanica p.196f; Poggendorff I, p.1375f; DSB XV, p.273ff. "The two-volume work consists of five books. Book I begins with what any attentive observer may see if he will open his eyes to the spectacle of the heavens on a clear night with a view of the whole horizon. Book II (...) sets out the 'real' motions of planets, satellites, and comets and gives the dimensions of the solar system. Book III is a verbal précis of the laws of motion as understood in eighteenth-century rational mechanics, with special reference to astronomy and hydrostatics. In Book IV, Laplace in effect summarized his own work in gravitational mechanics. (...) Only Book V contains material that Laplace had not written up in technical form or presupposed. It gives an overview of the history of astronomy and concludes with the speculation since called the nebular hypothesis and another on the nature of the universe in outer space". (DSB XV, p.343).
78 2103 Astronomy Pot J J 
= With 2 typescript leaves SIGNED by J.J. Pot serving as manual and w. suggestions for improvements and inviting interested people to come up with improvements. The model was intended as "leermiddel, als aanschouwelijke voorstelling waar de planeten zich op een bepaald ogenblik bevinden en hoe snel of langzaam zij bewegen" (as an educational tool intended to provide a graphically comprehensible model showing where the planets of solar system are located at a certain point in time (future or past) and showing the relative pace at which they move). Apparently never published. The little that we know about J.J. Pot, shows that he was was born in 1908 and was a critical member of the Georgist international union (the movement that followed the ideas of Henry George: the belief that people should own the value they produce themselves, but that the economic value of land (including natural resources) should belong equally to all members of society). The "Planetoscoop" has obviously nothing to do with Georgism, but is the product of a man who was an independent thinker (see the interview with Pot on occasion of his 90th birthday on https://www.sdnl.nl/gv3k98-4.htm).
