Newton is on my personal list of "love to see this someday."

Just wanted to drop a note about his copy of Joseph Mede's Works. Lots of good things in this article:

Newton has been proposed: https://www.librarything.com/legacylibraries/profile/795, though a complete catalog is not freely available online as yet.

To renew a topic, I came across this link earlier in the week and I thought it might be of interest to some:

It's an ongoing project, and with permission, they've copied the catalogue in Harrison's The Library of Isaac Newton. I don't think we'll be able to reproduce the information here, but it's fascinating to look through nonetheless.
