Oooo, 4 (Errata) is sometimes bound after Halley's Verses, i Plate at p. 496 or just after Halley's Verses. This is tlie first edilion, and was published at <)s. or lOJ. The collation here given is taken from two copies of the work. In the Tii/ies of July 30th, 1887, the writer of an article on the Principia quotes from a copy which, according to him, has a difTerent imprint: Printed by Joseph Streater, and sold by Saiiuiel Smith at the sign of the PHnce of Wales in St. Paul's Church-yard. The italics are mine ; they shew the variation. The publication of the Principia is a matter of historic interest, and it need only be said that its publication was due to Edmund Halley, who saw the work through the press, and paid all the expenses of its publication. The Royal Society was willing (and indeed passed a resolution) to publish the work, but was so largely in debt that Halley took the work upon his own hands. * Philosophise | Naturalis | Principia | Mathematica. | Auctore | Isaaco Newtono, | Equite Aurato. | Editio Secunda Auctior et Emendation | Cantabrigiae MDCCXIII.
