Newtoni de motu corporum liber secundus, 1670s
Newton's presentation copy of his professorial lectures. The word 'secundus' in the title is crossed through; it may have been originally intended for a second book of MS Dd.09.46, which is headed 'De motu corporum liber primus'. See also MSS Dd.09.67 and Dd.09.68.
Newton's Remarks on 'A Scheme of Mathematical Learning Proposed for Mr Stone's Foundation at Christ's Hospital', c 1665-c 1727
Papers either in Newton's hand or concerning his life and work. Subjects covered include the Royal Society, education, cosmography, mechanics, mathematics, astronomy and shipbuilding.
Newton's Waste Book, 1612-c 1685 (Barnabas Smith began using the book in 1612; Isaac Newton began using in around 1664.)
A commonplace book, written originally by the Rev. B. Smith, D.D. (Newton's step-father), used by Newton for geometrical and optical drafts, notes and calculations.
Nicholas Saunderson: A Treatise of Fluxions
fo. 5: shorthand note in pencil; fo. 5v: diagram; fo. 1: 'John Hall, Bought Clerk's Sale 1833.' Text written on every other leaf, alternate leaves either carrying diagrams or left blank. Printed as pp. vii-128 of Saunderson's Method of Fluxions, London, 1756.

f.72 belongs before ff.70-71.
Notes on Inheritance Laws and Mathematics, c 1665-c 1672
The Portsmouth Collection is the principal collection of Isaac Newton's scientific and mathematical papers, including early drafts of the Principia, and his correspondence with Oldenburg, Halley Flamsteed and many of the other most prominent scientists of his day.
Notes on Tangents and Other Subjects, 30 October 1665-13 November 1665

Observations on the Algebra of Kinckhuysen, c 1669
In 1669 Newton was asked by Barrow and Collins to add notes to a translation of Kinckhuysen's Algebra. He agreed on the condition that he would remain anonymous. This is a draft of these notes.
On the Quadrature of Curves, c 1700-c 1706

The first 40 pages are occupied with the statement of the rules of arithmetic; ff. 25-30 contain questions in mathematics, and rules for the extraction of the cube root, and also of the square root by approximation; ff. 31-35 relate to specific gravity. The remainder is blank, except that on the last page is a recipe for a 'Baume pour toute sort de blessures'.
