Excerpt from Researches Respecting the Imaginary Roots of Numerical Equations: Being a Continuation of Newton's Investigations on That Subject, and Forming an Appendix to the Theory and Solution of Equations of the Higher Orders

I have called the Researches to which these few pages are devoted a continuation of those of Newton on the subject of the Imaginary Roots of Equations; because, as I have shown in the second chapter, a principle first announced by that illustrious analyst in his Arithmetica Universalis, is competent to furnish all the more important of the conclusions to which I have arrived.

This principle was delivered by Newton without demonstration; and although several attempts have, at different times been made to establish its truth, I believe that no satisfactory proof of its accuracy has till now been offered.
