 priority of the invention of the calculus, pp. 97-123 containing the correspondence between Newton and Leibniz and their 

 friends about it. On p. 97 first appears the important letter from Leibniz to the Abbe Conti, in which he admits that 

 ' Collins me fit voir une partie de son commerce '. In a second letter (p. 106) he writes : ' Je n'ay jamais nie qu'a mon 

 second Voyage en Angleterre j aye vu quelques Lettres de M. Newton chez M. Collins, mais je n'en ay jamais vu ou 

 M. Newton ait explique sa Methode des Fluxions'.
