Earl Georg Franz Buquoy (1781-1851) kept great property in Bohemia. His richness allowed him to devote time and attention to his interests - mathematics, natural sciences (mainly mechanics), political economy, and so on. He published his ideas on philosophical and political problems. He actively took part in political life and was effective as an entrepreneur. The breadth of his interests is mirrored in his published works. He distributed his publications as gifts to all of the scientific centres of Europe. In return he became a member of 34 foreign scientific societies. His correspondence confirms his many contacts with scholars both in mathematics and mechanics, including Gergonne, Crelle, Schumacher and others. The letter of Gauss (supplement 2) addressed to Buquoy is very interesting. The significance of Buquoy's activities for the scientific community in Bohemia has not yet been assessed in the historical research.
