LECTURES DE MOTU CORPORUM (MS. Univ. Libr. Dd. 9. 46.) [The numbers on the left denote the pages in the 1st ed. of the Principia: those on the right the leaves in the MS.] The title is “ De motu corporum Liber primus.” It forms the draught of the 1st book of the Principia, see p. 209, note.

Lect. 3 (16—20) * In the corrections at the end of the MS. part of this Lecture is ordered to be trans- ferred to an earlier place in the Volume, and accordingly it appears in pp. 58—61 of the printed book. f The MS. in Lambeth Library, No. 592, (quoted by Rigaud, Essay, p. 97, note) entitled “ Trigonometric Fundamenta a Viro Cl. Isaaco Newton, Mutheseos Profes- sore, anno 1683 data,” contains merely rules for the solution of plane and spherical triangles given to Henry Wharton probably at one of those private lessons mentioned in p. xlv. It consists of two folio leaves (i.e. of two pages and seven lines on the last page, the second being blank), forming part of a volume entitled “ Scripta Academica fee. annos inter 1682 et 1686, a me facta ” &c. in Wharton’s handwriting.
