LONDON (AFP) – Historic manuscripts by Sir Isaac Newton, Benjamin
Franklin and other ground-breaking scientists will be published online
for the first time, the Royal Society said on Monday.

The society, the world's oldest scientific institution, will release
famous literature on the web that it has published in its journals over
the centuries as part of celebrations to mark its 350th anniversary.
The works include a 1770 scientific study confirming that composer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a genius and, more recently, acclaimed
scientist Stephen Hawking's early writings on black holes.
Called Trailblazing, the interactive site contains 60 articles chosen
from among the 60,000 that have appeared in the Royal Society's journals.
