In Of Quadrature by Ordinates (1695), Isaac Newton tried two methods for obtaining the Newton―Cotes formulae. The first method is extrapolation and the second one is the method of undetermined coefficients using the quadrature of monomials. The first method provides n-ordinate Newton―Cotes formulae only for cases in which n = 3, 4 and 5. However this method provides another important formulae if the ratios of errors are corrected. It is proved that the second method is correct and provides the Newton―Cotes formulae. Present significance of each of the methods is given.
