A comma mon-place book written from both ends, with “ Isaac Newton, Trin. Coll. Cant. 1661," in the beginning.

Leibnitz and M. le Chevalier Newton sur l'invention des Fluxions et du Calcul Differentiel. This is a proof of part of the 1st edition of Desmaizeaux's Recueil, with corrections. (Several pages are wanting at the end.) 14. A college note-book, written from both ends, containing early exercises—extraction of the square and cube root, elementary Geometry, &c.—followed by annotations of Wallis's Arithmetica Infinitorum. This is preceded by a note of Newton's fixing by an entry in his account-book the date of the annotations as being in the winter 1664–5, at which time he says he found the method of infinite series. Also notes on music, chances, &c. . c This is the note-book referred to in Brewster's Life of Newton, Vol. i. p. 22. 15. Proof sheets of the edition of Newton's Opticks, with a few MS. additions by Newton. 16. An early copy (MS.) of the Lectiones Opticæ, Jan. 1669. 17.
