Did Newton write a glossary of physics?

Aidyan · Jan 6, 2015

I once remind having read tha Newton wrote a sort of dictionary or glossary of physics concepts of the time, but did not find any reference to this later. Since I need to know for a history in physics research I would like to know if this has some foundation?
