When A. Rupert Hall and Marie Boas Hall published their edition of Newton’s unpublished scientific papers in 1962, they lamented that there was little promise that England would ever honor the memory of its finest intellect in the way that other countries had done. While there were proud national editions of the works of Galileo Galilei or Christiaan Huygens, the edited papers of Newton were to all intents and purposes no more than membra disjuncta. No complete edition of his writings was so much as contemplated, and the task fell to scholars to produce volumes such as their own in order in some way to fill the gap.
