of Sir Isaac Newton's Books
(See the main catalogue page for an overview of Villamil's lists of Newton's books.)
This supplementary list of volumes is taken from the list of Sir Isaac Newton's books as purchased by Mr. John Huggins from Sir Isaac Newton's administrators. The list is in manuscript and can be seen in the British Museum. It consists of the volumes starred in Dr James Musgrave's Catalogue, immediately preceding this list, and includes, in addition, the following volumes. In it will be noticed the entries ``Three dozen of small chymical books,'' ``Dozen of Wast 8° and 12°,'' and Above one hundred weight of Pamphlets and Wast books.'' The spelling of the manuscript has been followed.
It is perhaps legitimate to assume that some at any rate of these pamphlets were sorted out bound and catalogued by Charles Huggins. This would explain the appearance in his catalogue of a number of volumes which from their nature it would seem likely belonged to Sir Isaac Newton, but which do not appear under their titles in the British Museum list.
As to entries of volumes in the list of Newton books purchased by Mr. Huggins, but which do not appear in his catalogue, the fact is all that can be stated. The list is added here partly for the sake of completeness and partly because it enumerates volumes which once belonged to Sir Isaac Newton, any one of which might appear in the market. Unless such a volume had an unimpeachable history it would be a mere matter of surmise as to whether or not it ever belonged to Newton, for obviously it would not have the Chinnor press-mark.
