While the number of extant letters written by him on other that Mint business is relatively small, the majority of them are devoted to his controversy with Leibniz - Newton's dominant interest during this period. The correspondence of Newton shades gradually into the correspondence of the Newtonians. Thus notably Keill, De Moivre, Chamberlayne, Brook Taylor, the Abbe Conti and Des Maizeaux interested themselves in the calculus dispute, all of them (except the first) having frequent opportunities for personal conversation with Newton.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Plates\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Short Titles and Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Correspondence.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Physics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physics%20%5BPH%5D%22\"\u003ePH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006364045592,"sku":"9780521085946","price":71.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521085946i.jpg?v=1694969355","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-correspondence-of-isaac-newton-paperback-9780521085946","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
