Newton's Opticks is the most influential optical and experimental
work of the eighteenth century. This final volume of The Optical
Papers of Isaac Newton contains manuscripts that document the
evolution of the Opticks through its three principal published
editions. It shows how Newton constructed the book that for over a
century was the leading treatise on optics, a fecund source of
natural philosophical speculations, and which is now considered a
classic of science. The volume opens with the manuscript of the
first edition (1704) and the first draft of the Opticks in Latin,
which he soon abandoned for English. This is followed by the
manuscripts of the queries that Newton added to the Latin
translation in 1706 and the second English edition in 1717. Other,
shorter manuscripts are included, as are copious notes and
commentary, making this a valuable resource for historians and
philosophers of science, and historians of philosophy.
