No Pictures, but...

I couldn't take pictures at the Wren Library today, but the group had the unique opportunity of viewing several of the most valuable documents in the world. We saw a letter from Newton to Hooke, which includes a diagram that marks the beginning of his theory of gravity, as well as the first edition of the Principia with Newton's own handwritten revisions. We also saw Shakespeare's first folio and Milton's manuscript version of Comus.
