Abstract
THE tercentenary of the birth of Sir Isaac Newton occurred in 1943. The Royal Society arranged at that time a commemorative meeting, and it was decided that more complete celebrations of an international character should be held after the War. These celebrations were held in July 1946, and invitations to send delegates were extended to the national academies of the world ; in spite of the difficulties of travel, more than thirty countries were represented.
