Re: Principia

Jim,

I agree with Derek.  This is the authoritative English translation.  
Well-documented with extensive footnotes that aided me greatly when I 
read parts of it for my masters thesis.  I was moved to purchase my own 
copy (~$60 I think) even though the university library had ample copies 
because I felt it was something I ought to have on my bookshelf.  I'm 
glad I did because I refer to it every so often.
