Copies of all Reports or Memorials made by Sir Isaac Newton When Master of His Majesty's Mint
London: H.M.S.O. 1813. First edition thus of Newton's reports to the Privy Council or the Treasury during his position of Master of His Majesty's Mint the report signed and dated in print 21 September 1717. Newton was first appointed warden of the Mint in May 1696 rising to the position of Master following the death of Thomas Neale in December 1699. "Macaulay avers in his history that Newton - independently I suppose of his public action in reference to the Re-Coinage - has left no exposition of his opinions touching the currency. The eloquent historian thus leaves out of view the well-known report of 1717 upon which was based the reduction of the Guinea from 21 shillings and 6 pence to 21 shillings. It would seem then that the doctrinal importance of this Report had escaped recognition from the English historian though as I have had occasion to ascertain it was the subject of appreciative comment in France and Prussia more than a century ago. Indeed I read it first in a German translation printed at Berlin in 1762." Horton quoted in Gray. Foolscap folio 332 x 202 mm pp. 3. Docket title printed on final blank for folding. Disbound two sewing holes as issued. Two small sewing holes to centre fold; in excellent condition. Gray 350; Wallis 350.6. World Cat and Library Hub Discover record a 4-page version with the title "Return to an order of the House of Commons dated 1 March 1813; - for copies of all reports or memorials; made by Sir Isaac Newton when Master of his Majesty's Mint to the Privy Council or to the Treasury on the state of the coin of these realms: so far as relates to the Treasury." taken from the series of British Parliamentary papers; Accounts and papers Great Britain Parliament.

Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica; The Third Edition 1726 with Variant Readings
Cambridge Massachusetts: Harvard University Press 1972. First Harvard University Press edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 2 vol. Folio. 4 v-xl 2 1-547 3; 7 548-916 pp. Black cloth with silver lettering on the spine. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of Isaac Newton taken from the 1726 edition of Newton's Principia. Also illustrated with 67 in-text diagrams from the original editions. The text and illustrations are reproduced here from the first three published editions of Newton’s Principia. Assembled and edited by Alexandre Koyré and I. Bernard Cohen with the assistance of Anne Whitman. Pressler Printing in the Mind of Man PMM 96. According to PMM "The Principia is generally described as the greatest work in the history of science . providing the great synthesis of the cosmos proving finally its physical unity". Newton's work provided the last blow to the Aristotelian view of the universe present and dominant through the medieval period and into the Renaissance. The book was a great catalyst for the Scientific Revolution. This edition allows the reader to see how Newton's work evolved over time from the manuscript draft of the first edition between 1685 and 1687 to the release of the third edition in 1726. The textual variations are displayed with other variant readings taken from surviving manuscripts. The front flap refers to this publication as a photographic reprint of the third edition with the variant readings from the seven other sources at the bottom of each page. Thus the reader can easily observe Newton's changes. The appendices provide a bibliography of the Principia information on the contributions of Roger Cotes and Henry Pemberton and a complete table of contents for the third edition. A beautiful example of this important and comprehensive edition of one of the great works of science. A private person's stamp on the front pastedown of each volume; a small blemish to volume one's jacket's front panel. Harvard University Press hardcover

Isaac Newton Manuscript Land Indenture Signed.
November 11 1719. Rare and unrecorded 18th century legal document signed twice at the conclusion by Sir Isaac Newton as a witness to a land indenture. Manuscript document signed twice on the verso "Isaac Newton" one vellum membrane dated 11 November 1719 signed by Thomas Sturgess and with his seal witnessed twice on the dorse the sealing of the document and the payment of the PS270 witnessed separately by Newton and also by Richard Cox and James Weston and also signed again by Sturgess. The document records an indenture by which Thomas Sturgess of the parish of St Martin's in the Fields sells to Robert Newton of Colsterworth Lincs for the sum of PS270 a messuage or tenement in Colsterworth in the tenure of William Bulliner and also around 70 acres of arable land and pasture in Colsterworth and Woolsthorpe "Woollstrop" also occupied by the Bulliner family William Joan and son John also one rood i.e. quarter acre of land previously belonging to John Storey of Kneeton Notts and other lands. Newton was in his mid-70s when he witnessed this deed and was living in London as Master of the Mint. He almost certainly knew both parties to this transaction. His home in St Martin's Street was in the parish of St Martin's in the Fields which was also the home of Thomas Sturgess who was selling the land in this transaction. The buyer was his first cousin once removed Robert Newton of Colsterworth d.1734. Isaac Newton would also have been familiar with the fields and houses that his cousin was buying: the property in question included land in Newton's native hamlet of Woolsthorpe as well as in the adjacent village of Colsterworth. In near fine condition. The piece measures 20 inches by 23. Documents signed by Sir Isaac Newton are rare and most relate to his work as Master of the Mint. A document closely related to this one was however sold at auction in 2015. Dated one day before the current document that deed recorded the sale of land by Sturgess to Robert Newton for the nominal sum of 5 shillings. It was similarly signed only once by Isaac Newton as a witness. English mathematician astronomer theologian author and physicist Sir Isaac Newton is widely considered one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. In one of his most important works Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint until being superseded by the theory of relativity. Considered one of the greatest works of science ever published Newton’s second major book Opticks analyzes the fundamental nature of light by means of the refraction of light with prisms and lenses the diffraction of light by closely spaced sheets of glass and the behavior of color mixtures with spectral lights or pigment powders. hardcover

Isaac Newton Document Signed.
January 25 1698-1699. Rare vellum manuscript signed by Sir Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint in which he makes a case against his nemesis coin counterfeiter William Chaloner soon to be hanged for high treason. One page vellum manuscript document signed by Isaac Newton  “Is. Newton†January 25 1698-1699. Recognizance bond issued by Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint to ensure the future appearance of Nathaniel Peck as a witness against Newton’s nemesis the counterfeiter William Chaloner. The document reads in part "Nathanl Peck de Black Fryars London…Thos Worley de St Sepulchres London Glover…Symon Cross de east Aurifaber…Upon Condition the said Peck do personally appear at the next Genll Sessions of the peace …in St John str for the County aforesaid Then and there to answer…objected agt him touching his packing away Counterfeit money for advantage." Appointed as Warden of the Mint in 1696 upon the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer Isaac Newton ascended to the role of Master of the Mint the following year—a position he would retain for the remainder of his life. Prioritizing his duties at the Mint over his academic commitments he relinquished his responsibilities at Cambridge in 1701 to devote himself fully to the office. As Master Newton spearheaded significant currency reforms and pursued counterfeiters with unwavering diligence wielding the full force of the law as exemplified by the fate of William Chaloner. On the very day Newton signed this bond he received a formal statement from Nathaniel Peck who attested that seven years prior Chaloner had commissioned him to modify two iron pieces which were subsequently used to produce counterfeit French pistoles. Additionally Peck admitted to purchasing counterfeit pistoles from Chaloner at a rate of eight shillings per coin and reselling them for eleven shillings. Some months later Chaloner provided Peck with forged guineas which he likewise circulated before Chaloner turned to Thomas Holloway as his preferred distributor.

Isaac Newton 1643–1727 was an English mathematician physicist and astronomer widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history. His groundbreaking work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica 1687 laid the foundation for classical mechanics introducing the laws of motion and universal gravitation. However beyond his scientific achievements Newton played a crucial role in England’s financial and legal system. In 1696 he was appointed Warden of the Royal Mint largely due to the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer. A few years later in 1699 he became Master of the Mint a position he held until his death. Newton took his role seriously overseeing the recoinage of England’s currency implementing measures to stabilize the economy and aggressively pursuing counterfeiters. His meticulous investigations led to the conviction of notorious forgers like William Chaloner demonstrating his unwavering commitment to upholding the integrity of England’s monetary system. hardcover
