For this new edition, Roger Ariew has adapted Samuel Clarke's edition of 1717, modernizing it to reflect contemporary
English usage. Ariew's introduction places the correspondence in historical context and discusses the vibrant philosophical
climate of the times. Appendices provide those selections from the works of Newton that Clarke frequently refers
to in the correspondence. A bibliography is also included.
