The story of Newton’s private writings and
their meandering path through history
is described for the first time in Sarah
Dry’s new book The Newton Papers:
The Strange and True Odyssey of Isaac
Newton’s Manuscripts. Sarah Dry.
Reflections:
Rabidly heretical, alchemically obsessed,
and possibly even mad, the Newton
revealed in these papers threatened to
undermine not just his personal reputation
but the status of science itself.
