Abstract
THE subject of this book is Newton's “philosophy” in the large sense in which Newton himself understood that word, not in the narrower sense which is now usual. The author passes in review practically the whole of Newton's contributions to science, giving in each case their antecedents, their method, and their outcome. His historical accounts of previous discoveries, with the consequent estimates of Newton's contribution, are usually excellent, and in his exposition of Newton's ideas he is in general very faithful to his original.
