Propositions on Elliptic Motion. A simpler set of demonstrations of the properties of elliptical motion written by Newton for John Locke (who was an early reader of the Principia.) This is Newton's own copy, and differs somewhat from Locke's (which was incompletely published in W.W. Rouse Ball, An Essay on Newton's "Principia" (London, 1893,) pp.116-120.).
Creator: Newton, Sir Isaac, Knight, 1642-1727, natural philosopher and mathematician.
