Quaedam meam methodum Quadraturatum ...

1

An algebraic discussion of quadrature, in a hand other than Gregory's (counter to the "meam" in his index title, the final word of which, is obscured by a wrinkle in the paper). The strips on the back are notes, in Gregory's hand, about finding a new French translation of the Olynthian orations of Demosthenes and various ancient mathematics texts. These notes Gregory indexed as his "Batavia" shopping list of May 1693, verbatim, GB 0237 David Gregory Dk.1.2.1 Quarto A [31], and a note about having solicited Johannes Fredericus Gronovius to publish Josephus, and De Vries to publish Titus Lucretius Carus.
