'The level of scholarship, textual editing, and detailed analysis is very high ... [and] the introductions ... are useful - even essential.' Notes and Records 'a mine of information' The British Journal of the History of Science 'The main advantage of Rob Iliffe and Rebekah Higgitt's Early Biographies of Isaac Newton 1660-1885, is that this two-volume set collects and reprints many of the rarer sources that have formed the ultimate basis of almost all subsequent biographical treatments of Newton, both good and bad.'
