Scientific paper

DURING a recent survey of the Gregory Collection presented to the University of Aberdeen by Sir Ian Forbes-Leith, Bart., of Fyvie, I came across a bound manuscript of David Gregory's ``Notæ in Isaaci Newtoni Principia Philosophiæ''. A page-by-page superficial collation of this manuscript with that presented to the University of Edinburgh by J. C. Gregory, the well-known professor of the practice of medicine, led me to the conclusion that it is a somewhat later copy of the Edinburgh manuscript, the differences noted being only such as were to be expected in copying. The fact that the Aberdeen manuscript is composite as to hand, paper and binding, and the presence of a few glosses in a hand distinct from those of the text, suggest, however, that it might be worth more detailed study; particularly in view of the fact that its existence was evidently unknown to Rigaud1 or the writer of the notice of David Gregory in the Dictionary of National Biography.
