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

 engineer of the Buffalo 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.

THE ABOVE is THE FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION. A re-issue 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 

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



The interest of the first edition of what probably constitutes the most important printed work on exact science ever published 

 need hardly "be emphasised. It should also be noted that the first edition 7ias 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 1691. . . . Cotes states in his 

 preface to the second edition that copies of the first were scarce, and could only be obtained at an immense prio.e. Sir 

 William Browne, when at college, gave more than two guineas for a copy, and owing to the difficulty of procuring one at 

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