Newton, Sir Isaac, 1642-1727 (Knight, natural philosopher and mathematician)
Macclesfield Collection
<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>This is a revised version of the Specimina (Add.9597/2/6 and Add.3964.3: 7r-20v) from which (for reasons unknown) all references to Gregory and Leibniz are expunged. This is the first chapter: the two following ones are in the Portsmouth Collection at Add. 3964.3: 13r-14r (preliminary drafts and calculations are at Add. 3964.3: 11r-12v.) The item was probably split up c.1709-1710 when William Jones was contemplating an edition of Newton's mathematical papers.</p></p>
