From the reviews of the first edition:
"The book is an outcome of the efforts of several eminent scholars who are committed to the long standing project of publishing all of Newton’s widely scattered unpublished papers. These papers open up a new view on aspects of Newton’s thoughts that were scarcely acknowledged hitherto … . The essays of the collection elucidate either the current state of Newton studies or the seminal figure of Newton himself." (Karl-Heinz Schlote, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1081, 2006)

Contains eleven essays by eminent scholars which focus on Newton's theology, his study of alchemy, the early reception of Newtonianism, and the history of Newton scholarship
