As Newton had by now entered his eighth decade, it can be no
surprise that the correspondence in this sixth volume shows a
marked decline in his activity and intellectual vigour. While the
number of extant letters written by him on other that Mint business
is relatively small, the majority of them are devoted to his
controversy with Leibniz - Newton's dominant interest during this
period. The correspondence of Newton shades gradually into the
correspondence of the Newtonians. Thus notably Keill, De Moivre,
Chamberlayne, Brook Taylor, the Abbe Conti and Des Maizeaux
interested themselves in the calculus dispute, all of them (except
the first) having frequent opportunities for personal conversation
with Newton.
