First sentence: Although the development of the so-called "post-Newtonian" approximation to general relatively started as early as 1916 (through the works of Droste (1916), De Sitter (1916) and Lorentz and Droste (1917)) and found its way in most advanced textbooks (e.g. Weinberg 1972; Misner et al. 1973), it is only recently that one found a much simplified way of formulating it (Blanchet &amp; Damour 1989; Blanchet et al. 1990; Damour et al. 1991).
