 Case between Sir Isaac Newton and Mr. [John] Hutchinson, in which is shown how far a

' He allowed to Sir Isaac the great merit of having settled laws and rules in natural philosophy ; but at the same time

In this interesting letter, which was sent out to 1500 scientists, the anonymous author offers 250 francs for the 

 publication of a certain passage in a Leibniz MS. (referred to by Dr. H. Sloman, hut said to have been purposely left out 

 in Gerhardt's edition, aud since then disappeared alt )siether from its home in the Royal Library of Hanover), which would 

 conclusively prove that Leibniz borrowed his ditterential calculus from a Mauuacript by Sir Isaac Newton.
