Continuing Page 10: Recall the references in Foundation, the May 1942 issue. Page 38, Hari Seldon: Page 39, Salvor Hardin: Page 40, Salvor Hardin: So no mention of province or quadrant in Foundation, and sector is mentioned only once, by Seldon. Were province, sector and quadrant...

In "Foundation" and "Bridle and Saddle", the option is left open that the range of starships without landing is limited - they might need to land at a friendly spaceport after some distance/time/number of jumps to resupply something (fuel? food? air? spare parts?) and if the spaceports ahead are...

We hear of BOTH types of communications in "Foundation". In the first scene, reception of Salvor Hardin by Lewis Pirenne, Salvor mentions news received by "the Terminus City ultrawave set" two hours before. And the discussion of news includes forthcoming visit from Anacreon, two weeks later. In...

We hear that Sheev was expelled from several elite private schools outside Naboo for misbehaviour. But were Epstein, Weinstein or Savile in trouble before? In repeated trouble? Sheev was expelled from elite private school while other rich frat bros were not. Several times. The world is full of...

Pages 9-10: That´s odd. Whatever had happened to the communications of the four surrounding kingdoms with the few kingdoms immediately surrounding them in their turn?

"Bridle and Saddle", page 9: Giving the exact ages of Salvor Hardin and Yohan Lee in Foundation. Salvor 32 and Yohan 36 then. Did not meet as children - met 10 years before Foundation, when Salvor was 22 and Yohan 26.

How did Sheev establish himself as gone straight, between ages 17 and 52, for the people who knew him before 17?

And now to the start of the main text of "Bridle and Saddle". Page 9: Compare the start of the main text of Foundation, May 1942, page 38-39: Both "Foundation" and "Bridle and Saddle" open with a reception scene. With viewpoint of the host expecting the guest - and the host being the political...

The introduction is also a part not repeated in the book:

"Bridle and Saddle" opens at page 9 with illustration at the top of the page. Unlike most other illustrations, I´ve not been able to identify text passage it refers to.

The Contents summary: It is the only Foundation story besides Foundation to have a contents summary, but unlike Foundation, it does not give extra information.

Now going to the next work! "Bridle and Saddle", as promised by the Editor. June 1942. And unlike "Foundation", "Bridle and Saddle" is a cover story. That is, it is on cover image. A colour image. The details will be discussed when the text will be at the point depicted on colour image. There is...

And a passage which is, I expect, not reproduced in the book. After THE END.:

And the conclusion of the author text of "Foundation". Page 53. The Narrator, reporting the thoughts of Hardin: Recall Hardin´s quotes, both of which were AFTER Hardin guessed the obvious solution. Page 44, 2 months later: Page 49, about a month after page 44: Which of these was honest...

A famous quote of Hardin that was quoted later in Foundation series and even by others, in the original context. Page 49:

The contradiction is on page 52. The Narrator: The illustration depicts a youthful man, meant to be Hardin, standing, while the text is clear that Hardin did not rise. The illustration depicts someone seated on the other side of the standee, contrary to the text implying that the five sat...

Also see the illustration at bottom of page 46. Note that it contradicts the text. Will be discussed with the text.

Page 48: "Visigraph" is not actually a term or trademark outside Asimov´s "Foundation". Nor is its meaning unambiguous. From classical languages, "visigraph" would signify "visible writing", "picture writing". For example, since 1860s, there was a large number of inventions to improve...

Now some of Dorwin´s expressed opinion about Anacreon, and by implication Periphery in general. Back on Page 46: Pages 47-48: Salvor often claims in conversation that the Empire cannot suppress Anacreon´s revolt and protect Foundation if they wanted to. Is Salvor right? Or could we rather...

About conditions in interior of Galaxy. Page 47, Hardin: Indiscriminate use of atomic power is dangerous. Power plants that have been poorly repaired can explode some years later. Accidental explosion of a poorly maintained power plant may result in several million people killed and more than...
