The Correspondence of Isaac Newton (Paperback)

This fifth volume presents the surviving correspondence from the
period of almost four years which is, from a bibliographical point
of view, the most important time in Newton's life: with Roger
Cotes, Newton revised his Philosophise Naturalis Principia
Mathematics and saw it through the press. Considered as a single
group of letters, the Newton-Cotes correspondence is the largest
and most important section of Newton's scientific correspondence
that we have. Nowhere else can one witness Newton in a detailed
debate about scientific argument and scientific conclusions - a
debate from which he did not always emerge victorious. Nowhere else
does Newton write in detail about the text of the Principia. And
all scholars agree that this text which was hammered out between
Cotes and Newton was the most important of all versions, printed
and unprinted; this was (to all intents and purposes) the Principia
of subsequent history.
