Draft of MINT00619 (Mint 19/2/322)
And indeed its impo to say that Mr Newton \then/ understood not second fluxions is all one as to say the|a|t he understood not how to consider motion \or/ as a quantity increasing & decreasing.
|1||1.| In the last coinage of Copper money an hundred per an̄ for six year together made a great [clamour aming the people & & a] complaint in Parliament whereby the coynage was stopt for a year by reason of two {sic} great a quantity of copper money & after ye coynage of another hundred Tunns the nation was fully stockt for ye next five or six years. So that six or seven hundred Tunns is abundantly sufficient to stock the nation & a coynage of 1500 Tunns in five years time is not practicable by reason of the clamours it would make among the people. At present there {illeg}|w|ants not above a 100 Tuns in all to supply what's wanting.
|3||2.| Copper of 10d per £wt is too coarse. T And there is no assay proposed by wch the goodnes of the Copper may be known. A specimen is not sufficient.
|4||3.| The casting drawing cutting flatting Scouring nealing blanching \& dying/ cannot be performed for 25£ per Tonn. And there is nothing set down for the Graver & Smith. |The Patentees in the last coynage paid {illeg}|3| pr lwt for making the blanks & Mr Neale|
|5||4.| Eleven pounds per Tonn for putting away is too much
|6||5.| If the Copper be so coarse & the There is nothing set down for providing coyning Tools
|7||6.| If the copper should be so coarse & the coynage so cheap \& 1500 Tonns be coined as pound weight sho b in the proposal/ a pound weight cannot should not be cut into above 15d or at most 15 |20d.| T{illeg}|But| 7|t|he money Should be coyned as neare as can be conveniently to the intrinsic value.
|2||7.| If a pound weight be cut into 20d, a Tonn in coyn will amount only to 186£. 12|3|. 4. |7|I|t must be cut into 21d that a Tonn may make 205. 6. 8. But Whether the copper money should be coyned \to the intrinsic/ as near as can be conveniently|
|8||8.|He th{illeg}|a|t sizes assayes sizes & coyns the Copper money should have nothing to do with buying the Copper & distributing it to ye people|not be impowed {sic} to make any profit by coyning it too light or too coarse & therefore should have nothing to do with buying the copper or distributin{illeg}|g| it to the people but should only {sic}| but should |only| receive it by weight & assay by the ham̄er & deliver it back to the Importer in money by th weight & assay \& have it in his power to refuse bad copper/{illeg}. The proper assay \for Copper/ is by the ham hammering it when red hot & bending it when cold \& observing the grain in breaking/ as at ye is done at the C{illeg}|o|pper Mills.
|9||9.| The money of Denmark is made of Copper flatted at the battering Mills My Ld Treasurer is desirous to have the money of fine copper, & if be of the same c|f|ineness with the \Copper/ money of Sweden, it|th||e| must Copper must be made into filleths at ye Battering Mills. For Copper of that degree of fineness will not cast be manufactured without casting. by casting.
is Analysis & in \his/ book of Quadratures & in the still uses \it/ in the same manner \as formerly/ & as it is the oldest notation so it is the best, the method there{illeg} being more Geometrical \&/ more elegant & then the Differential & as universal. T{illeg}
And whereas the great Mathematician represents that Mr Newton uses the letter o in the vulgar manner wch destroys the advantages of the Differential method: he uses it & has used it ever since the writing of his Analysis in such a manner as makes his method more beautiful more & geometrical & more advana|t|ageous then the differential & (by joyning the methods of Series {illeg}|&| fluxions together) makes his method much more universal|.| then the differential. The Differential Method is nothing else then the method of Tangents & published \improved by Mr Gregory & Dr Barrow by Mr in the year 167|6|8 &/ by Dr. Barrow in ye year 1670, disguised by changing the Letters\Dr Barrows symbols/ a & e into {illeg}|d|y & dx, & improved by the instructions wch Mr Leibnitz received Fro by the Letters of Mr Newton, assumed by from th\&/ taken from them by pretending that he|Mr L.| found it long before he d.I|id| . In h For in his Letter dated 21 Aug|Jul| 1677 he pretended to have found it jam a multo tempore & yet he di|ha|d not understand it the y found it the year before. For in his Letter dated the ye 27. Aug. 1676 he wrote that there were many Problems wch could not be reduced to Equations or Quadratures such as were those of the inverse method of Tangents & may others. This method of f This method without the use of the letter o is not demonstratin|v|e, {illeg}|w|ithout the method of Series {illeg}|is| not universal nor had any advantages wch are not to be found in Mr Newtons. And thus much in answer to the great Mathematician
