Chapter Chapter 6 in The Physical and Mathematical Foundations of the Theory of Relativity, 2019, pp 161-197 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter some aspects of Newtonian gravitational theory are recalled. This theory initially postulates the gravitational force between two mass points as an action-at-a-distance. Subsequently, the gravitational force is extended to the case in which matter is continuously distributed in a bounded region of space. This theory, which still satisfies the Galilean principle of relativity, has been widely developed and its forecasts experimentally confirmed.
