 is a causa, occulta, is of great historical importance. It also contains a new preface by the author, the Latin verses on him

 edited by Hknuv Pembertox, m.d., f.r.s., and contains a new preface by Newton, and a large number of alterations, the 

 most important being the scholium on fluxions, and the addition of a new one on the motion of the moon's nodes, to 

 which I may add an account of some additional experiments on the resistance of the air to bodies falling through it, and 

 the use of some fresh astronomical observations in book III.' — W. IV. R. ball. It also contains Halley's verses and 

 Cotes's preface. 



' Newton modified in the third edition of the Principia the scholium relating to fluxions, in which Leibnitz had been 

 mentioned by name. Leibnitz and his friends had always held this scholium to be an acknowledgment of his claim to 

 originality.'— Dr. it. T. Glazebrook, F.R.S. See in this connexion note to No. 12570, post.
