ON April 2 of this year (vol. lxxvii., p. 510) I contributed to your columns a short account of an interesting copy of the original edition of the above work, which I had purchased in Sydney from among a collection of old books that had remained packed up in cases for about 140 years, and had formed part of an English estate in Chancery. The most interesting feature of the book consists of several pages of manuscript corrections for a second edition, and numerous amendments of the mathematical diagrams throughout the book, which, according to a further note forming portion of the manuscript pages, were in the handwriting of Sir Isaac Newton himself.
