The most convenient of all these journals is probably Nature, but it began only 

 in 1869 and has no general indices. One must consult the indices of each volume, 

 which is a tedious process (by the end of 1950, 166 volumes had appeared). Com- 

 plete sets of these journals are very bulky and the historian of modern science can 

 hardly have them near him, but he should try to keep close at hand a few general 

 indices. (N.B. The present efforts of modern technicians to reduce the bulk of 

 accumulated literature by means of microfilms, microprints and similar other devices 

 will have but little practical value for historians of any kind. ) (C. F. M. ) 



In many cases, the historian of science would be obliged to consult also journals 

 devoted to special sciences, or the abstracting journak concerned with special sub- 

 jects. Any attempt to enumerate all these journals would be futile and outside the 

 scope of this guide-book. Every speciafized man of science is familiar with the jour- 

 nals devoted to his special studies. Moreover, there are many special lists of sci- 



*» "Endeavour, a quarterly review designed to record the progress of the sciences in the 

 service of mankind," is published by the Imperial Chemical Industries, London. It serves 

 as a means of propaganda for British science and industry, but the articles are as impartial as 

 they would be in any scientific journal; they are admirably illustrated. In addition to the 

 English edition of Endeavour, there are also editions in French, Spanish, German and 

 (beginning with vol. VII, no. 25, Jan. 1948) Italian.
