Professor Hubert Newton, born at Sherburne, N.Y., in 1830, was one of ten children of parents of whom one was 

 engineer of the Buflalo section of the Erie Canal and the other (born Butler) was remarkable for her mathematical 

 attainments. He graduated with the highest mathematical honours at Yale when only twenty.

Thk ABOVE IS the FIRST is.suE OF THE FIR.ST EDITION. A re-issuc was published in the same year with a new title, 

 having a different imprint. This second issue is .somewhat less rare than the above, although copies of either are now 

 I)ractically unprocurable. No copies of either can be traced as having sold at auction during the last twenty years. 



The inttrrest of the first editiun of whut prohahh/ cjjyi.stififtes the ruost important printed work on exact ."icience ever published 

 need hardly be emphasised. It xhould also be noted that the first edition has never been reprinted in any form. 



The cost of printing the first edition was borne by Edmund Halley, f.r.s., who edited and saw it through the press, 

 and added the Latin verses reprinted in all the later editions. The idea of Mr. Samuel Pepys, p.r.s, giving the Society'.s 

 imprimatur to Newton's Principia is tickling. 



Owing to the importance of the work and the comparatively small number of copies printed, the first edition became 

 rare almost immediately after publication. Sir David Brewster, in his Life of Newton, mentions (Vol. I, pp. 312 and 337): 

 ' The impression was quickly sold. A copy of the Principia could scarcely be procured in 1091. . . . Cotes states in his 

 ))reface to the second edition that copies of the first Avere scarce, and could only be obtained at an immense price. Sir 

 William Browne, when at colle;!:e. gave more than two guineas for a copy, and owing to the diflficulty of procuring one at 

 a reasonable price, the father of Dr. John Moore of Glasgow transcribed the whole work with his own hand.*
