SUMMARY. — At the end of the first edition of the Principia, Newton calls the reader's attention to the modifications and corrections that he had had to add to the body of propositions making up the work's exposition, probably at the last minute in a manuscript already composed. He says nothing about this at the beginning of the Principia, in the axiamata sive leges motus and their corollaries, and he seems to have done so in good conscience. This appears to have been true not only at the time, but later as well, for the variants in the second and third editions are minor. Was this good conscience justified ? With this question in mind it seemed worthwhile, all of the many earlier commentaries notwithstanding, to reexamine critically and me...
