Abstract
Although Isaac Newton is acclaimed as the greatest leader of scientific thought that the world has known, there exists no satisfactory collected edition of his works. The Council of the Royal Society has decided to make a first step in the arduous undertaking of preparing such an edition by producing in a worthy form the collected correspondence of Newton, which will comprise letters written by him and the replies to them. Prof. H. W. Turnbull has undertaken the editorship of this work. The Council of the Royal Society has entrusted the immediate organisation of the publication of the Newton correspondence to a sub-committee of the Society, under the chairmanship of Prof. E. N. da C. Andrade. It is hoped that learned institutions, museums, libraries and collections will collaborate in the work, by notifying the assistant secretary of the Royal Society of any letters of Newtonian interest that they may possess, and by lending the letters to the Society for a brief period or by arranging with the Society for photographic copies to be made.
