Bemerkung:

*Erste Ausgabe. Es ist nur dieser erste Teil erschienen. - Titelblatt mehrfach gestempelt, sonst sauber und sehr gut erhalten. - Die "Nature" schrieb 1908 als Rezension: "An intimate knowledge of the theory of potential energy is of undoubted value to the student of theoretical geodesy, and it is with this object that Dr. Buchholtz has given us in this book a complete and exhaustive treatise on the subject since its inception by Newton down to the present day. But it is not alone to those interested in the complex study of the figure of the earth that this portion of the book will appeal; for in the application of the potential theory, not only is gained a knowledge of some of the most elegant mathematical theorems, but at the same time a deep insight into nature is obtained".
