Leibniz managed to delay his arrival in Hanover until the end of 1676, after making one more short journey to London, where he was shown some of Newton's unpublished work on the calculus.

Among the few people in north Germany to warm to Leibniz were the Electress Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714), her daughter Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (1668-1705), the Queen of Prussia and his avowed disciple, and Caroline of Ansbach, the consort of her grandson, the future George II.
