OTHER PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCES
    The authoritative scientific biography is Richard S. Westfall’s Never at Rest (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1980). He offered a salutary warning to all who follow: “The more I have studied him, the more Newton has receded from me.… Only another Newton could hope fully to enter into his being, and the economy of the human enterprise is such that a second Newton would not devote himself to the biography of the first.”
