here that the Fundament a Geometrica in quibus maxima conjifte - 
bat difficult as were fir ft laid by Ivimlelf in this very Trad, and 
that he himfelf had in this very Trad: opened v'tas quafdam 
novas fatis antea impeditas. And yet Mr. Newtons Principia 
Philofcphi# came abroad almoft two Years before, and gave 
occafion to the Writing of this Trad, and was written com- 
munibus quoad licuit verbis , and contains all thele Principles 
and all thefe new Ways. And Mr. Leibnitz , when he pu- 
blifhed that Trad, knew all this, and therefore ought then 
to have acknowledged that Mr. Newton was the firft who laid 
the Fund ament a Geometricain quibus maxima confi ft ebat Difficul- 
tas, and opened the vias novas fatis antea impeditas. In his 
Anfwerto Mr.Fatio. he acknowledged all this, faying guam 
[methodum] ante Dominum Newtonum & me nullus quod 
Jciam Geometra haluit ; uti ante hunc maximi nominis Geometram , 
NEMO SPECIMINE PUBLICS DATO fe ha- 
bere PRO B A FIT. And what he then acknowledged he 
ought in Candour and Honour to acknowledge dill upon all 
Occafions. 
Mr .Leibnitz in his Letter of May 1 8. 1697, wrote thus to 
Dr. Wallis. Methodum\Fluxionum profundiffimi Newtoni cogna-
