"East and West in the History of Science" was originally the 

 second of the Colver Lectures at Brown University for the year 

 1930, which were printed under the title, Jhe History of Science 

 and the Neiv Humanism (first published by Henry Holt and 

 Company, New York, 1930; reprinted by the Harvard University 

 Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1937). The essay as printed here differs 

 from the previously printed version in the omission of several 

 paragraphs and the bibliographic references, and in several minor 

 emendations, including the introduction of a footnote from an- 

 other section of that book. The title has been enlarged from the 

 original "East and West" to the more suggestive title, "East and 

 West in the History of Science," which was used in the Spanish 

 translation appearing in Al-Andalus, 1934, 2.- 261-297.

"An Institute for the History of Science and Civilization" is the 

 author's third article on this subject; the previous two having been 

 published in Science, 1917, 45: 284-286; 46: 399-402. The pres- 

 ent version was issued in a small mimeographed edition on 5 

 December 1936, and was published with an introduction and an 

 appendix in Jsis, 1938, 28: 7-17. It is printed here with a few 

 slight emendations. 



"Casting Bread upon the Face of the Waters" is reprinted from 

 Isis, 1934, 21: 488-501 with a few deletions and without the 

 bibliographic footnotes.
