Description | 'Dear Mr Glazebrook, You are quite at liberty to quote from the Newton pamphlet. As to portraits, you will find in "Proceedings" of the Royal Society ['Proceedings of the Royal Society'], vol. 50, No. 307, a list of all our portraits, and, among them, nine portraits of Sir Isaac Newton. We have not the book by Samuel Compton "On Portraits of Newton", nor do I know of it. Yours truly, H Rix Asst. Sec. R.S. [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. |
