  • In one of the three variants of an important letter from J. Lelong to Leibniz, dated October 1707, which have been used in the past to date Malebranche's first encounter with Newton's Opticks (1704), to which De quadratura curvarum was appended, and of which excerpts of all three appear in Oeuvres de Malebranche, vol. 19, Correspondance et Actes 1690–1715 , 2nd ed. Robinet André Paris 1978 768 769 Lelong says: ‘Ce Père [Malebranche] est à la campagne avec un de ses amis. Ils ont emporté un ecrit de M. Newton imprimé à Londres en 1704, De Quadratura Curvarum …’ (p. 768). Who was Malebranche's mysterious ‘friend’? ‘Malebranche allait en vacances chez lui [Pierre-Rémond de Monmort] à Mareuil …’ (quoted from Oeuvres de Malebranche, vol. 20, Documents biographiques et bibliographiques (2nd ed, ed. André Robinet: 1978, Paris), 166). That Malebranche had first seen one of the reproductions made available by Monmort seems inescapable.
