Excerpt from Cambridge School and College Textbooks: The First Three Sections of Newton's Principia, With an Appendix, And the Ninth and Eleventh Sections In the present Edition the first three sections of Newton's Principia, together with the Chapters headed 'Definitiones, ' and 'Axiomata, sive Leges Motus, ' which form the Introduction, have been translated from the Latin edition of Le Seur and Jacquier, with omission of the Scholia at the end of these Chapters: notes have been added in small print in cases where the text seemed to require explanation. This part of the book is followed by an Appendix, consisting mainly of examples in illustration of the methods used in the Lemmas, and of three important propositions from the first book of the Principia. The ninth and eleventh sections are added with little alteration from the last edition of Evans. A collection of Examples is given at the end, for which I am partly indebted to the kindness of Mr Hudson, Fellow of St John's College, partly to various University and College Examination Papers.
