Astronomiae Physicae et Geometricae Elementa, 28 February 1698
Notes from a London meeting with Sir Isaac Newton on a revised plan for the Astronomiae physicae et geometricae elementa, (1702), Gregory's most important work. An erratum lies at the foot of this document, unrelated to it or to any of the other things on the sheet (which have their own entries in Gregory's index): a jotting about refraction, crystals, and cataracts of the eye. This is dated London, 30 May 1708.
Corrigenda to the Astronomiae, 1698-1699
Editorial issues in Gregory's major textbook.
De Antlia Pneumatica ..., 1681
Notes from a trip to London in May and early June of 1681. Gregory saw Boyle's pneumatic pump (an 'antlia' is a siphon) and a method of making 'leaves' with molten glass and water. One Mr Lamb discussed copper engraving with him. He saw Newton's reflecting telescope in Gresham College.
Extrait de Manouvre des Vaisseaux ... sequuntur ... de Newtoni cogitatio, 1694
A jotting, dated 1694, about a book on how vessels turn (for Gregory was interested in how solids behaved in fluids), and diagrams on the catenary curve, annotated annoted by Gregory and by Newton, almost certainly during their five-day meeting in Cambridge in May of the same year.
Folio C, c1680-c1708
Index Chartarum in M.S. C. in folio, 1700
An index, in Gregory's hand, to the material he designated as Folio C.
