Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote: " Bacon, Locke and Newton.

Isaac Newton wrote of the earth, "“ Thus this Earth resembles a great animall or rather inanimate vegetable, draws in æthereall breath for its dayly refreshment & vitall ferment & transpires again with gross exhalations, And according to the condition of all other things living ought to have its times of beginning youth old age & perishing .”

In 1670, he wrote that all the algebra books known to him lacked a lesson for solving simultaneous equations, which Newton then supplied.

Of the 348 hymns in the original published edition of 1779 some commentaries state that Cowper wrote just 66 between 1772 and 1773, and Newton the remainder, while other sources attribute 67 to Cowper.

It is known, however, that Newton wrote some of the hymns in direct response to events around him ; ' Oh for a closer walk with God ' for instance was written in response to the serious illness then being suffered by Cowper's house companion, Mary Unwin, an illness she survived.

There is no evidence to show that either Newton or Cowper wrote any music to accompany the hymns.

The solar tidal acceleration at the Earth's surface was first given by Newton in the ' Principia '< ref >, Book 3, Proposition 36, Page 307 Newton put the force to depress the sea at places 90 degrees distant from the Sun at " 1 to 38604600 " ( in terms of g ), and wrote that the force to raise the sea along the Sun-Earth axis is " twice as great ", i. e. 2 to 38604600, which comes to about 0. 52 × 10 < sup >- 7 </ sup > g as expressed in the text .</ ref >

It is in part on the basis of these papers that Keynes wrote of Newton as " the last of the magicians.

In 17th century the explanations of the optical spectrum came from Isaac Newton, when he wrote his book Opticks.

In the preface of the Principia, Newton wrote

Newton wrote at the end of Book 2 ( in the < span class =" plainlinks "> Scholium to proposition 53 </ span >) his conclusion that the hypothesis of vortices was completely at odds with the astronomical phenomena, and served not so much to explain as to confuse them.

In his notes, Newton wrote that the inverse square law arose naturally due to the structure of matter.

Newton firmly rejected such criticisms and wrote that it was enough that the phenomena implied gravitational attraction, as they did ; but the phenomena did not so far indicate the cause of this gravity, and it was both unnecessary and improper to frame hypotheses of things not implied by the phenomena: such hypotheses " have no place in experimental philosophy ", in contrast to the proper way in which " particular propositions are inferr'd from the phenomena and afterwards rendered general by induction ".

Newton frankly admitted that this change of style was deliberate when he wrote, in the introduction to Book 3, that he had ( first ) composed this book " in a popular method, that it might be read by many ", but to " prevent the disputes " by readers who could not " lay aside the prejudices ", he had " reduced " it " into the form of propositions ( in the mathematical way ) which should be read by those only, who had first made themselves masters of the principles established in the preceding books ".

Richard Bentley, master of Trinity College, persuaded Newton to allow him to undertake a second edition, and in June 1708 Bentley wrote to Newton with a specimen print of the first sheet, at the same time expressing the ( unfulfilled ) hope that Newton had made progress towards finishing the revisions.

" Sullivan wrote that Hooke was " positively unscrupulous " and possessing an " uneasy apprehensive vanity " in dealings with Newton.

In 1704 Isaac Newton wrote in his book Opticks Book 1, Part 1

Outside his academic historical writing, Hobsbawm wrote a regular column ( under the pseudonym Francis Newton ', taken from the name of Billie Holiday's communist trumpet player, Frankie Newton ) for the New Statesman as a jazz critic, and time to time over popular music such as with his " Beatles and before " article.

Newton wrote that the field should be called " rational mechanics.

His religious sentiment and association with John Newton ( who wrote the hymn " Amazing Grace ") led to much of the poetry for which he is best remembered.

" Amazing Grace " is a Christian hymn with words written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton ( 1725 – 1807 ), published in 1779.

" Amazing Grace ", with the words written by Newton and joined with " New Britain ", the melody most currently associated with it, appeared for the first time in Walker's shape note tunebook Southern Harmony in 1847.

Newton's epitaph on a plaque in St. Mary Woolnoth, written by Newton himself, bears these words:

The first, from 1729, by Andrew Motte, was described by Newton scholar I. Bernard Cohen ( in 1968 ) as " still of enormous value in conveying to us the sense of Newton's words in their own time, and it is generally faithful to the original: clear, and well written ".

To collect and arrange facts is, as he tells us, the sole secret of his success, and he adds in other words the famous apophthegm of Newton, " hypotheses non fingo.

Using the handpicked writings of the early Church Fathers, the Greek and Latin manuscripts and the testimony of the first versions of the Bible, Newton claims to have demonstrated that the words " in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one ," that support the Trinity doctrine, did not appear in the original Greek Scriptures.

The resulting letters form individual words, revealed either by anagramming or by applying the order hinted at by the Sir Isaac Newton painting, in which all of the creatures of the book are represented as puppets hanging in a line from left to right.

* Now let us join with hearts and tongues, to the tune Martham, words by John Newton ( 1897 )

As Newton and Gwen go into the house to have sex, the final spoken words are of Newton saying " I love you, Gwen " and Gwen replying, " Actually, it's Jessica.

Another version of the question was given by Newton himself, but also about thirty years after the event: he wrote that Halley, asking him " if I knew what figure the Planets described in their Orbs about the Sun was very desirous to have my Demonstration " In light of these differing reports, both produced from old memories, it is hard to know exactly what words Halley used.

On July 2, 1863, Army of the Potomac commander Maj. Gen. George G. Meade replaced Doubleday with Maj. Gen. John Newton, a more junior officer from another corps.

Ludwig Ross, the German archaeologist appointed Curator of the Antiquities of Athens at the time of the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece, by his explorations in the Greek islands from 1835 onwards, called attention to certain early intaglios, since known as Inselsteine ; but it was not until 1878 that C. T. Newton demonstrated these to be no strayed Phoenician products.

Acrylic paints with gloss or matte finishes are available, although a satin ( semi-matte ) sheen is most common ; some brands exhibit a range of finish ( e. g., heavy-body paints from Golden, Liquitex, Winsor & Newton and Daler-Rowney ). Politec acrylics are fully matte.

Specifically, after acknowledging the various popular theories in vogue at the time, of how atoms were reasoned to attach to each other, i. e. " hooked atoms ", " glued together by rest ", or " stuck together by conspiring motions ", Newton states that he would rather infer from their cohesion, that " particles attract one another by some force, which in immediate contact is exceedingly strong, at small distances performs the chemical operations, and reaches not far from the particles with any sensible effect.

Examples include Cairn Holy I and Cairn Holy II near Newton Stewart, a cairn at Port Charlotte, Islay, which dates to 3900-4000 BC, and Monamore, or Meallach's Grave, Arran, which may date from the early fifth millennium BC.

In many Christadelphian hymn books a sizeable proportion of hymns are drawn from the Scottish Psalter and non-Christadelphian hymn-writers including Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, William Cowper and John Newton.

The young talent joined holdovers from the Landry era such as wide receiver Michael Irvin, guard Nate Newton, linebacker Ken Norton Jr., and offensive lineman Mark Tuinei, defensive lineman Jim Jeffcoat, and veteran pickups such as tight end Jay Novacek and defensive end Charles Haley.

Instead, under the influence of Locke and Newton, deists turned to natural theology and to arguments based on experience and Nature: the cosmological argument and the argument from design.

In 1976 he earned acclaim for his first major film role, portraying Thomas Jerome Newton, an alien from a dying planet, in The Man Who Fell to Earth, directed by Nic Roeg.

Humbolt drew inspiration from Isaac Newton as he developed a form of " terrestrial physics.

Essentially, Euler-MacLaurin summation can be applied whenever Carlson's theorem holds ; the Euler-MacLaurin formula is essentially a result obtaining from the study of finite differences and Newton series.

The method in Europe stems from the notes of Isaac Newton.

The Water Newton Treasure is a hoard of Christian silver church plate from the early 4th century and the Roman villas at Lullingstone and Hinton St Mary contained Christian wall paintings and mosaics respectively.

This was first shown by Newton, whose shell theorem mathematically predicts a gravitational force ( from the shell ) of zero everywhere inside a spherically symmetric hollow shell of matter, regardless of the shell's thickness.

Newton sought to remove the use of infinitesimals from his fluxional calculus, preferring to talk of velocities as in " For by the ultimate velocity is meant ... the ultimate ratio of evanescent quantities ".

Newton was instrumental in converting Scott from a cynical ' career priest ' to a true believer, a conversion Scott related in his spiritual autobiography The Force Of Truth ( 1779 ).

In 1788, 34 years after he had retired from the slave trade, Newton broke a long silence on the subject with the publication of a forceful pamphlet " Thoughts Upon the Slave Trade ", in which he described the horrific conditions of the slave ships during the Middle Passage, and apologized for " a confession, which ... comes too late ...

While Leonardo's experimentation followed clear scientific methods, a recent and exhaustive analysis of Leonardo as scientist by Frtijof Capra argues that Leonardo was a fundamentally different kind of scientist from Galileo, Newton and other scientists who followed him in that, as a Renaissance Man, his theorising and hypothesising integrated the arts and particularly painting.

Newton is attributed with suggesting that he and Cowper collaborate on a collection of hymns, ultimately drawn largely from Newton's texts accumulated over ( by the time of publication ) some 10 years.

The six stanza version quoted is the original, as written by Newton, but it has also appeared in longer forms where others have added verses or where verses from other hymns from the Olney books have been moved across.

Isaac Newton demonstrated that Kepler's laws were derivable from his theory of gravitation and that, in general, the orbits of bodies subject to gravity were conic sections, if the force of gravity propagated instantaneously.
