This volume reproduces mathematically significant extracts from the
extant manuscript record of Newton's researches during 1684-5 into
the dynamical motion of bodies under the deviating action of a
central force, and his subsequent struggles thereby to explain the
observed motions of solar comets and of the moon. The short tract
De motu Corporum, which Newton initially composed on this topic in
the early autumn of 1684, was primarily built around his earlier
proof that in the absence of external perturbation a planetary
eclipse may be traversed under an inverse-square force pull to its
solar focus, but also discussed the simplest case of resisted
ballistic motion. In epilogue, excerpts from his abandoned grand
scheme for revising the Principia in the early 1690s detail
Newton's planned refinements to his printed exposition of central
force, both simplifying and extending it, introducing therein a
novel general fluxional measure of such force - but failing
adequately to apply it to the primary case of conic motion.
