vernon_brief_description Presentation copy of the definitive scholarly edition of Newton's masterpiece from Jane to Stephen Hawking. Described as ‘the greatest work in the history of science’ (PMM). The 1726 edition was the last published in the author's lifetime, with his revisions, thereby establishing the definitive text for all subsequent editions. The third edition contains a new preface by Newton, numerous alterations, most notably in the scholium on fluxions, and a new section on the motion of the lunar nodes. This edition comprises a facsimile of the text of the third edition, comparing it against variants in the preceding editions, together with the annotations, alterations and corrections from Newton’s own copies of the first and second editions. -- auction catalogue notes
