    "Notes out of ye Diary of ye Parliamt 1660"

    Manuscripts

    Most of the manuscripts in this collection came from Sotheby's 1936 Portsmouth sale of Newton's papers. They include correspondence, research notes, and documents, over 30 of which are in Newton's hand. The collection demonstrates the wide range of Newton's activities: his extensive studies of alchemy and theology, his work for the Royal Mint and the Royal Society, as well as his personal records. Highlights include: "A Treatise or Remarks on Solomon's Temple," with commentary and six sketches of plans and architectural details drawn by Newton, "Praxis," considered one of his most important alchemical manuscripts, and an illustrated alchemical text picturing the Philosopher's Stone. Another notable manuscript is "Lib. Chem," Newton's inventory of over 100 alchemical books in his personal library, with shelf marks.

    A collection of excerpts from Proceedings in Parliament, the House of Commons Journals, speeches, letters, poems, and other records illustrating the deteriorating relationship between the Crown and Parliament under James I and Charles I. The volume includes an account of the impeachment of the Duke of Buckingham, the Remonstrances of the Commons, "The Complaint of distressed England to her children the Commons," "A Copie of some Jesuits letters directed to the Rector of Brussels," a list of shipping lost at sea through Admiralty incompetence, and many other entries, chiefly 1623-1626, with the later addition of "Majesty in Misery," a 72-line poem purportedly written by Charles I during his captivity at Carrisbrook Castle in 1648. Perhaps compiled by or for Sir Richard Knightley (1593-1628) of Fawsley, Northamptonshire, MP, an early supporter but later opponent of the Duke of Buckingham.
