118 Treatises and Handbooks 



Cuvier, Georges (1769-1832): 



1841-45: Histoire des sciences naturelles depuis leur origine jusqu'a nos jours 

 chez tous les peuples connus (5 vols. Paris). 



Completed by T. Magdeleine de Saint Agy. Cuvier was the greatest naturalist 

 of his age. 



Dampier, Sir William Cecil ( 1867- ) : 



1912 (with his wife Catherine Durning Whetham): Science and the human 

 mind (304 p., Cambridge; Isis 1, 125-32). 



1924 (with his daughter, Margaret Dampier Whetham): Cambridge Readings 

 in the history of science (288 p., 8 pi., Cambridge). 



1929: History of science and its relations with philosophy and religion (535 p., 

 14 fig., Cambridge; Isis 14, 263-65). Third edition revised and enlarged (598 p., 

 Cambridge 1942; Isis 34,448). Fourth edition, 1949. 



1944: Shorter history of science (200 p., 9 pi., Cambridge; Isis 36, 50). 



The author's name was originally William Cecil Dampier Whetham; it was 

 classified under Whetham, later under Dampier-Whetham, finally under Dampier. 

 Sir William is an English physico-chemist, but for the last forty years he had de- 

 voted much time and thought to the history and cultural aspects of science. 



Dannemann, Friedrich (1859-1936): 



1910-13: Die Naturwissenschaften in ihrer Entwicklung und in ihrem Zusammen- 

 hange (4 vols., Leipzig; 2nd ed., 4 vols., 1920-23; Isis 2, 218-22; 4, 110, 563; 6, 115). 



Strange to say, this is still today the largest history of science available in any 

 language. It is elementary and imperfect, yet Dannemann was a pioneer and de- 

 serves our gratitude. Wolf's work is partly derived from it. 



Draper, John William (1811-82): 



1874: History of the conflict between religion and science (395 p., New York). 

 Man of science, historian, educator. 



Enriques, Federigo (1871-1946); Santillana, George de: 



1937: Compendio di storia del pensiero scientifico (487 p., Bologna; Isis 28, 

 577). 



Enriques was a distinguished mathematician and the founder of the institute 

 for the history and philosophy of science at the University of Rome; Santillana was 

 an assistant of his in Rome and now teaches the history of science and the humanities 

 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 



Francesco, (Mrs.) Grete de: 



1939: The power of the charlatan (296 p., ill.. New Haven, Yale University Press; 

 Isis 32, 406-08). Translated from the German: Die Macht des Charlatans (258 

 p., ill., Basel 1937).

 Research in New York City. 



Gunther, Siegmund (1848-1923): 



1909: Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften (2 vols, in 1, 16 pi., Leipzig). That 

 is the 2nd ed.; Srd ed., 1917-19. 



Little book containing so many facts that it is unreadable. It is as if one 

 crowded too many names on a small map. Gunther was one of the founders of 

 the history of science in Germany, and the author of many books and memoirs on 

 the history of mathematical and physical sciences. 



Hannequin, Arthur (1856-1905): 



1908: Etudes d'histoire des sciences et d'histoire de la philosophic (2 vols.,
