Abstract
THE bi-centenary of the publication of Newton's “Principia” was celebrated on Thursday last at Trinity College, Cambridge. A long and admirable address was read by Dr. Glaisher to a distinguished audience which had been invited to Cambridge by the Master and Fellows of the College. At a numerously attended dinner in Hall in the evening, speeches were made by the Master, the President of the Royal Society, the Astronomers-Royal for England and Ireland, and other distinguished guests.
