A Short Preview:
“[W]e find [Newton] occupied with the difficult and profound subject of the lunar irregularities…. [I]t was probably from the intense application of his mental powers which that subject demanded, that he was deprived of his appetite and sleep during that and the subsequent year…. Sir Isaac told [Mr. Machin] that his head had never ached but when he was studying that subject.”
~ David Brewster, Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton (1855)
“Apart from the … oft-proposed reasons for [Isaac] Newton’s illness … it is supposed by some that Newton was distressed by the strain of his attempts to solve the intractable problem of the moon’s motion.”
~ P.E. Spargo and C.A. Pounds, “Newton’s ‘Derangement of the Intellect.’ New Light on an Old Problem”
