Trying to discover what changes were made to the 2nd edition of the Principia from Pemberton's suggestions, in his letters among the Portsmouth Papers. Believes JCA may be able to help, and may have found a formula for the motion of the Moon's apogee. See draft of letter from Newton to Cotes (Box 19/1), which was found with this letter. |
