Arise Sir Isaac! Newton's London Career
26 February 2020 Arise Sir Isaac! Newton’s London Career Dr Patricia Fara This lecture is based on Patricia Fara’s forthcoming book, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2021. The Indian Emperor. Or the Conquest of Mexico. As performed in the year 1731 in Mr Conduitt’s, Master of the Mint, before the Duke of Cumberland &c. Act 4, Scene 4 by William Hogarth (1731-2) Isaac Newton is celebrated throughout the world as a great scientific genius who conceived the theory of gravity and revolutionized optical science. But in his early fifties, he abandoned his life as a reclusive scholar at Cambridge to spend three decades in London, a long period of metropolitan activity that is often overlooked. Enmeshed in Enlightenment politics and social affairs, Newton engaged in the linked spheres of early science and imperialist capitalism. Instead of the quiet cloisters and dark libraries of Cambridge’s all-male world, he now moved in fashionable London society, which was characterised by patronage relationships, sexual intrigues and ruthless ambition. An eminent Enlightenment figure who had twice served as an MP, Newton liaised with international visitors and mingled among elite circles of the Hanoverian aristocracy. Knighted by Queen Anne, and a close ally of the influential Earl of Halifax, Newton occupied a powerful position as President of London’s Royal Society. He also became Master of the Mint, responsible for the nation’s money at a time of financial crisis and himself making and losing small fortunes on the stock market. A major investor in the East India Company, Newton benefited from the global trading networks that relied on selling African captives to wealthy plantation owners in the Americas and was responsible for monitoring the import of African gold to be melted down for English guineas.

Isaac Newton Back to Biographies
Isaac Newton Back to Biographies Occupation: Scientist, mathematician, and astronomer Born: January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England Died: March 31, 1727 in London, England Best known for: Defining the three laws of motion and universal gravitation Isaac Newton by Godfrey Kneller Biography: Isaac Newton is considered one of the most important scientists in history. Even Albert Einstein said that Isaac Newton was the smartest person that ever lived. During his lifetime Newton developed the theory of gravity, the laws of motion (which became the basis for physics), a new type of mathematics called calculus, and made breakthroughs in the area of optics such as the reflecting telescope. Early Life Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4, 1643. His father, a farmer who was also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before his birth. His mother remarried when Isaac was three years old and left young Isaac in the care of his grandparents. Isaac attended school where he was an adequate student. At one point his mother tried to take him out of school so he could help on the farm, but Isaac had no interest in becoming a farmer and was soon back at school. Isaac grew up mostly alone. For the rest of his life he would prefer to work and live alone focused on his writing and his studies. College and Career In 1661, Isaac began to attend college at Cambridge. He would spend much of his life at Cambridge, becoming a professor of mathematics and a fellow of the Royal Society (a group of scientists in England).
