A Supplement to the Catalogue of the Grace K. Babson Collection of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton
The Online Newton project was a joint initiative of Babson College and the Burndy Library that takes advantage of the rich holdings of the Grace K. Babson Collection of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton which were on loan to the Burndy.

The goal of the project was to provide online access to all of the Newton mansucripts in the Babson Collection, and to all of the books of Newton that were published in his lifetime in Latin, French or English. The manuscripts range in subject from legal documents to Newton's famous essay on the Temple of Solomon. The books represented are Newton's great Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, his treatise on Opticks, the Arithmetica Universalis, containing the lectures in mathematics he gave in Cambridge, as well as Analysis per quantitatum series, fluxiones, ac differentias, etc. which contains some of Newton's earliest mathematical discoveries as they relate to his invention of the the calculus. Each of the online works is introduced with online editions. The online editions are in Adobe pdf format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view them.
