Very rough, heavily corrected drafts: a few sections form complete and self-contained units but most are just fragments. The titles scattered through the Ms. do not in all cases seem to relate to the text that follows them, but do give a general idea of the overall content and the scheme Newton was working towards.A number of sheets had previously been used for material concerning Newton's activities at the Mint and in the Royal Society. The text on f. 124r is written around some jottings about payments (probably Mint-related) made in 1708-9. ff. 132r-133r have a draft letter of c. 1710 relating to the renewal of Queen Anne's contract with Cornish tin producers (cf. the section 'Tin Trade' in the Mint catalogue). f. 165r has a draft letter of c. 2 Feb. 1711 concerning Robert Ball's tender to handle the Queen's tin (cf. Mint Catalogue MINT00714 (III.556)), f. 181v has a list of Fellows of the Royal Society, and f. 182 has the draft of a formula for calculating coinage duty (cf.
