- Aside from the Principia and occasional appearances of the Opticks, Newton' writings have remained largely inaccessible to students of philosophy, science, and literature as well as to other readers.

Grouped in sections corresponding to methods, principles, and theological considerations, these selections feature explanatory notes and cross-references to related essays.
