FEATURED WEB PAGE: ISAAC NEWTON'S MINT REPORTS

This week's Featured Web Page is a collection of Isaac Newton's Royal Mint reports from 1701 to 1725.

Of these official reports only three have hitherto appeared in print. In the following pages, however, I have reprinted from the original copies in the Treasury Board Papers at the Record Office all these papers which distinctly bear on coinage or exchange matters.

The papers are mostly in Newton's own hand; and as being the copies actually forwarded as reports to the Treasury, must be regarded as the most final and authentic form of the documents he drafted. On the other hand, it is quite apparent that the Treasury Board Papers do not now contain many reports and papers of Newton on mint, coinage, and exchange affairs, which he drew up during his official career.
