    Seeing the Light: Being the story of Sir Isaac Newton’s prisms and papers and the means by which they came to New College ‘In the sun’s light let into my darkened chamber through a small round hole … in my window-shutter … I placed a lens … then immediately behind the lens I placed a prism … by which the projected light might be refracted either upwards or sidewise …’ Opticks (1704), Prop. IV, Prob. I, Exper. II Prologue It is one of the most famous images held in the antiquarian collections of New College Library, known around the world and reproduced in countless books and articles—the diagram hand-drawn by Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) illustrating his experiments into optics and the refraction of white light into the colours of the spectrum when channelled through a prism. It is such a well-known picture that seeing the original sketch (for that, essentially, is what it is), as opposed to a reproduction, can have a profound effect on people—this author, for example, has witnessed at least one school science teacher reduced to tears in its presence! The drawing is contained within the second of four bound volumes of Newton’s papers (New College MS 361/1- 361/4). Amongst these papers are to be found drafts of his writings on theology and historical/biblical chronology, including A short chronicle from the first memory of things in Europe to the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great (datable to 1701-2 and later), along with drafts and notes for The original of monarchies (1701-2 and later).

  • Maty's Biography of Abraham De Moivre, Translated
    Statistical Science 2007, Vol. 22, No. 1, 109–136 DOI: 10.1214/088342306000000268 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2007 Maty’s Biography of Abraham De Moivre, Translated, Annotated and Augmented David R. Bellhouse and Christian Genest Abstract. November 27, 2004, marked the 250th anniversary of the death of Abraham De Moivre, best known in statistical circles for his famous large-sample approximation to the binomial distribution, whose generalization is now referred to as the Central Limit Theorem. De Moivre was one of the great pioneers of classical probability the- ory. He also made seminal contributions in analytic geometry, complex analysis and the theory of annuities. The first biography of De Moivre, on which almost all subsequent ones have since relied, was written in French by Matthew Maty. It was published in 1755 in the Journal britannique. The authors provide here, for the first time, a complete translation into English of Maty’s biography of De Moivre. New mate- rial, much of it taken from modern sources, is given in footnotes, along with numerous annotations designed to provide additional clarity to Maty’s biography for contemporary readers.

  • Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont
    Accounts of Debates in the House of Commons, March–April 1731, Supplementary to the Diary of the First Earl of Egmont D. W. Hayton Introduction John Perceval (1683–1748), fourth baronet, of Burton Hall, near Kanturk in County Cork, created first Baron Perceval (in 1715), first Viscount Perceval (1723) and first Earl of Egmont (1733) in the Irish peerage, sat in the British House of Commons for the government borough of Harwich in the parliament of 1727–34, and left to posterity a diary containing accounts of debates in the Commons which constitute the best source for parliamentary proceedings during the period of Sir Robert Walpole’s prime ministership.1 This was published by the Historical Manuscripts Commission in three volumes between 1905 and 1909, as appendices to its sixteenth report.2 Elsewhere in Perceval’s large personal archive in the British Library other examples survive of the diarist’s craft and some of these have been published: in 1962 Robert McPherson edited the ‘journal’ compiled by Perceval from notes, minutes and papers while he was a trustee of the Georgia Society in the 1730s;3 in 1969 Aubrey Newman printed fragments from 1749–51 and 1760, illustrating the politics of the ‘Leicester House’ faction, with which Perceval was involved;4 in 1982 the present author published excerpts relating to Irish parliamentary proceedings in 1711 and 1713 from a ‘journal of public affairs’ kept by Perceval between 1711 and 1718;5 and in 1989 Mark Wenger edited Perceval’s diary of his travels in 1701 as a young man through the eastern and northern counties of England.6 Occasional references in the Historical Manuscripts Commission volumes indicate that Perceval had compiled other accounts of events – specifically of parliamentary debates – and forwarded them in correspondence.

  • Sir Isaac Newton Did His Best Work While Working from Home During a Pandemic
    Sir Isaac Newton did his best work while working from home during a pandemic. - The Washington Post 3/23/20, 10:32 AM Democracy Dies in Darkness During a pandemic, Isaac Newton had to work from home, too. He used the time wisely. By Gillian Brockell March 12, 2020 at 2:18 p.m. EDT Isaac Newton was in his early 20s when the Great Plague of London hit. He wasn’t a “Sir” yet, didn’t have that big formal wig. He was just another college student at Trinity College, Cambridge. It would be another 200 years before scientists discovered the bacteria that causes plague, but even without knowing exactly why, folks back then still practiced some of the same things we do to avoid illness. In 1665, it was a version of “social distancing” — a public health tool making a comeback this week as governments, schools and many businesses, including The Washington Post, send people home to try to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/03/12/during-pandemic-isaac-newton-had-work-home-too-he-used-time-wisely/ Page 1 of 7 Sir Isaac Newton did his best work while working from home during a pandemic. - The Washington Post 3/23/20, 10:32 AM Cambridge sent students home to continue their studies. For Newton, that meant Woolsthorpe Manor, the family estate about 60 miles northwest of Cambridge. AD Without his professors to guide him, Newton apparently thrived. The year-plus he spent away was later referred to as his annus mirabilis, the “year of wonders.” First, he continued to work on mathematical problems he had begun at Cambridge; the papers he wrote on this became early calculus.

  • 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.

  • "Mr. Ou (Euclid)" Came to China
    When “Mr. Ou (Euclid)” came to China … SIU Man Keung, Department of Mathematics, University of Hong Kong ABSTRACT The Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci and the Chinese scholar-official XU Guang-qi of the Ming Dynasty collaborated to produce a translation of the first six books of Elements (more precisely, the fifteen- book-version Euclidis Elementorum Libri XV compiled by Christopher Clavius in the latter part of the sixteenth century) in Chinese in 1607, with the title Ji He Yuan Ben [Source of Quantity]. This paper attempts to look at the historical context that made Elements the first European text in mathematics to be translated into Chinese, and how the translated text was received at the time as well as what influence the translated text exerted in various domains in subsequent years, if any, up to the first part of the twentieth century. This first European text in mathematics transmitted into China in the Ming Dynasty led the way of the first wave of transmission of European science into China, while a second wave and a third wave followed in the Qing Dynasty, but each in a rather different historical context. Besides comparing the styles and emphases of mathematical pursuit in the Eastern and the Western traditions we try to look at the issue embedded in a wider intellectual and cultural context. 1. Introduction In early-twentieth century the revolutionary socialist intellectual CHEN Du-xiu ( 陳獨秀 1879-1942 ), later to become a co-founder of the Chinese Communist Party, introduced to the Chinese a “Mr.De ( 德先生 ) [Democracy]” and a “Mr.Sai ( 賽先生 ) [Science]”.

  • The History of Newton' S Apple Tree
    Contemporary Physics, 1998, volume 39, number 5, pages 377 ± 391 The history of Newton’s apple tree (Being an investigation of the story of Newton and the apple and the history of Newton’s apple tree and its propagation from the time of Newton to the present day) R. G. KEESING This article contains a brief introduction to Newton’s early life to put into context the subsequent events in this narrative. It is followed by a summary of accounts of Newton’s famous story of his discovery of universal gravitation which was occasioned by the fall of an apple in the year 1665/6. Evidence of Newton’s friendship with a prosperous Yorkshire family who planted an apple tree arbour in the early years of the eighteenth century to celebrate his discovery is presented. A considerable amount of new and unpublished pictorial and documentary material is included relating to a particular apple tree which grew in the garden of Woolsthorpe Manor (Newton’s birthplace) and which blew down in a storm before the year 1816. Evidence is then presented which describes how this tree was chosen to be the focus of Newton’s account. Details of the propagation of the apple tree growing in the garden at Woolsthorpe in the early part of the last century are then discussed, and the results of a dendrochronological study of two of these trees is presented. It is then pointed out that there is considerable evidence to show that the apple tree presently growing at Woolsthorpe and known as `Newton’s apple tree’ is in fact the same specimen which was identi®ed in the middle of the eighteenth century and which may now be 350 years old.

  • Key Documents in the History of Gold, 1
    Volume I The Rise of the Gold Standard, 1660-1819 1730 Excerpts from John Conduitt’s treatise, ‘Observations upon the present state of our Gold and silver coins’. In 1717, Conduitt married Catherine Barton, the step-niece of Sir Isaac Newton, and he also succeeded Newton as Master of the Royal Mint in 1727, holding that office until his death ten years later. His tomb lies adjacent to Newton’s in Westminster Abbey. Conduitt’s writings as Master of the Mint are less well known than those of Newton, but, like Newton’s, they succinctly pose sound and insightful arguments in answer to the problems at hand. Though written in 1730, this lengthy treatise was published for the first time only in 1774 from a manuscript copy that, inexplicably, had been in the possession of the Irish satirist Jonathan Swift. It addresses the relationship between gold and silver in England as opposed to neighbouring countries during the early 18th century and the necessity to bring the proportional value of the metals more closely into line with their value in other European nations. ——— When we cannot pay in goods, what we owe abroad, on account of the balance of trade, or for the sale or interest of stocks belonging to foreigners, or for foreign national services, our debts must be paid in gold or silver, coined or uncoined; and when bullion is more scarce or more dear the English coin, English coin will be exported, either melted or in specie, in spite of any laws to the contrary. All that can be done in such cases is, to take care from time to time, that a pound

  • Rare Plant Register
    1 BSBI RARE PLANT REGISTER Berkshire & South Oxfordshire V.C. 22 MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY FRS UPDATED APRIL 2005 2 Symbols and conventions The Latin binomial (from Stace, 1997) appears on the left of the first line in bold, followed by the authority in Roman font and the English Name in italics. Names on subsequent lines in Roman font are synonyms (including names that appear in Druce’s (1897) or Bowen’s (1964) Flora of Berkshire that are different from the name of the same species in Stace). At the right hand side of the first line is a set of symbols showing - status (if non-native) - growth form - flowering time - trend in abundance (if any) The status is one of three categories: if the plant arrived in Britain after the last ice age without the direct help of humans it is defined as a native, and there is no symbol in this position. If the archaeological or documentary evidence indicates that a plant was brought to Berkshire intentionally of unintentionally by people, then that species is an alien. The alien species are in two categories ● neophytes ○ archaeophytes Neophytes are aliens that were introduced by people in recent times (post-1500 by convention) and for which we typically have precise dates for their first British and first Berkshire records. Neophytes may be naturalized (forming self-replacing populations) or casual (relying on repeated introduction). Archaeophytes are naturalized aliens that were carried about by people in pre-historic times, either intentionally for their utility, or unintentionally as contaminants of crop seeds. Archaeophytes were typically classified as natives in older floras.
