No - not another paper by Ajay Sharma!
"A Letter of Mr Isaac Newton, Professor of Mathematicks in the University of
Cambridge; containing his New Theory about Light and Colors"
With the classic introduction: "... I procured me a Triangular glas-Prisme,
to try therewith the celebrated Phaenomena of Colours."

I was astonished to find that ALL editions of ALL the journals of the Royal
Society more than one year old are freely available on-line from
www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk. All the way back to volume 1 of Philosophical
Transactions of 1665, which includes a book review of a New Treatise by
"that Noble Philosopher Mr Robert Boyle" 'An Experimental History of Cold'.
Also contains a very useful account "Of A Way of killing Ratle-Snakes",
which would doubtless have been invaluable in 17th century London!
Not totally OT - a random search on "Lamp" brings up "A Theory of the
Filament Temperature Distribution of the Tungsten Vacuum-Lamp, with Special
Reference to Optical Pyrometry" from Phil Trans A, 1960.
