Newton's Principia in 1687 and 1937

T. M. Cherry’s commemorative lecture considers Newton’s Principia and its scientific legacy 250 years after its publication. The text discusses dynamics, gravitation and the relationship between Newtonian ideas and relativity.

This is Cherry’s short 1937 lecture booklet, rather than the full text of Newton’s Principia.
