Important for containing the evidence, as embodied in the correspondence between Leibniz and Jean Bernoulli, on the 

 question of the rival claims to priority of the invention of the calculus between Newton and Leibniz. It was the only 

 serious claim published in Leibniz's favour, and a tardy reply to the Commercium Epistolicum (v. No. 3282 ante), which 

 gave the evidence in Newton's favour. 



However little the merits of Leibniz's claim may be as to its origination, there can be no doubt as to the superiority 

 of his notation to Newton's fluxional one, which being stubbornly adhered to at the English universities, prevented 

 this country from having any important share in the progress of the calculus for more than a century after.
