It must be recollected that Newton practically gave up his mathematical studies after 1696 , even the superintendence of the second edition of the Principia being given to Cotes , and thus that after this date there is little of value ...

Two lemmas are first established which give the motion of the apogee in an elliptic orbit of very small eccentricity due to given small disturbing forces acting , ( 1 ) in the direction of the radius vector , and ( 2 ) in the direction ...
