This Introduction serves a dual purpose: it is a guide to the Principia and a biography of the work. It provides an analytic history of how Newton came to write the book, the printing of the several editions, the critical receptions given to each edition, andabove allhow Newton continually corrected, revised, and enlarged the text over four decades.

I once saw Cohen inscribe a copy of this book: 'One of my favorite books' -- he meant of his own, which says a lot considering how many he wrote. While he was derided in some scholarly circles -- his Franklin & Newton became known as 'Franklin & Cohen' among one particularly hostile set -- his substantial body of work will unquestionably be of everlasting importance to the field of history of science he did so much to help establish.
