page no 49 * note The addition of “e” to the name in Gray’s Bibliography (item 28 and index), 2nd ed., 1907, is a mistake, while in Zeitlinger’s article in the M.A. commemorative volume, Isaac Newton 1642-1727, 1927, the name of Charles Thorp occurs in a sentence which obviously was superseded and should have been cancelled. Gray and Zeitlinger are the authorities for dates which I have not been able to confirm.

page no 49 † note The D.N.B. mentions a reprint of 1732, but no such reprint is known at Trinity or recorded by Gray or Zeitlinger.

page no 51 * note The subsequent appearance of a Latin version has no bearing on the conjecture. Once accepted as authentic, the work, if originally in English, would demand, like Walks’ Algebra and Newton’s own Opticks, translation into the universal language. In the case of Newton’s Method of Fluxions, English translations from the manuscript were published in book form in 1736 and 1737, but the Latin original appeared for the first time in Castiglione’s edition of Newton’s works.

page no 51 † note Not “interpreted”, as in Smith’s edition of the Budget, i, p. 140.

page no 51 ‡ note For the sake of completeness, two dates may be added : p. 646, Chasles, Apergu historique, 1837—later editions are reprints ; p. 656, M. Cantor, Geschichte, vol. 3, ed. 2, 1901.

page no 51 § note The verses in Pemberton’s View of Newton's Philosophy, 1728, are in English, but have no connection with Halley’s ode.
