>>> Laura Rozenberg asked: Diagrams for Isaac Newton's Paper Lantern?

"...he disappeared into books like Mysteries of Nature and Art— ... he also 
built a lantern described therein, tied it to a kite, and flew it at night near 
his home, a spectacle “which wonderfully affrighted all the neighboring 
inhabitants,”....

I Googled and found copies of the books "Mysteries of Nature and Art" but there 
was no search function for the book, and I couldn't locate the paper lantern, 
which may be different from the ones tied to the kite.

If you're more persistent, you may be luckier than I was.
