Excerpt from The Doctrine and Application of Fluxions, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing (Besides What Is Common on the Subject) A Number of New Improvements in the Theory; And the Solution of a Variety of New and Very Interesting Problems, in Different Branches of the Mathematics

Having, in the year 1737, published a piece, on this same subject, under the title Of A Treatise of Fluxions (whereof the whole impression hath been long since sold), it may be proper here, first of all, to maign the reasons why this work is sent abroad into the world as a new book, rather than a second edition of the said Treatise. Which, in short, are these two First, because the present work is vastly more full and comprehensive; and, secondly, because the principal matters in it which are also to be met with in that Treatise, are handled in a difi'erent manner.

Besides the press-errors with which the said Treatise abounds, there are several Obscurities and defects (which the Author's want of experience, and the many disadvantages he then laboured under, in his first sally, may, it is hoped, in some measure excuse). But what is now offered to the public, being a per. Formance of more mature consideration and judgment, it will, I flatter myself, be found much more correct.
