Newton first wrote this treatise as a popular version of the third book of his Principia. It was published only after his death, in Latin and in English, in 1728. This is the English translation, in its 1731 edition.

This copy is the second edition, “wherein are interspersed some alterations and improvements”, printed in London for F. Fayram in 1731. It was scanned from a Wellcome Collection copy and is held by the Internet Archive as a public-domain work (180 pages).
