    * Opticks : or a Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflec- tions and Colours of Light. The Second Edition ivitli Additions: By Sir Isaac Newton. Knt. London, Printed for W. and J. Innys, Printers to the Royal Society at the Princes Anns in St. Paul's Church-yard, 1718. 8vo. [87 Collation: Title, Advertisement, [to ist edit, and anew one for this edirion]. Corrigenda 4 11. + pp. i—382. Sigs. A in 4, B to Bb in 8's. 12 plates. In this edition Newton reprints the Advertisement to the First Edition, and adds the date April l, 1704. The new Advertisement for this edition is dated July i6, 1717. In this Second Edition, I have omitted the Mathematical Tracts published at the end of the former edition, as not belonging to the subject, and at the end of the Third Book I have added some questions. The plates for this edition were re- engraved to suit the new form of the work. * — The TJiird Edition, corrected. London: Printed for William and John Innys at the West End of St. Pauls, 1721. 8vo. [88 With this slight variation in the imprint, this edition is the same as the second. * — The Fourth Edition, corrected. London: Printed for William Innys at the West End of St. Paul's, 1730. 8vo. [89 Collation: Tide, Advertisements to ist 2nd & 4th edidons 4 11. -(-pp. 1—382. Sigs. A in 4, B to Bb in 8's. 12 plates. This new edition is carefully printed from the Third Edition, as it was corrected by the Author's own hand, and left before his death with the Bookseller. Since Sir Isaac's Lectioiies 0,-ticae are lately printed, it has been thought proj^er to make at the bottom of the page several citations from thence, where may be found the Demonstrations which the Author omitted in these O'^S^oks.:'—Advertisement. No other editions of the Opticks in English appeared except that printed in Newton's Works, Horsley, Vol. IV.
