 Vols. 1-2 deal with science; vols. 3-4 with philosophy (Isis 5, 524). 



This does not really cover the whole century, because the author's scientific 

 documentation ceased to be creative long before the end of the century. Merz 

 was primarily a philosopher.

 vols., Paris).— Second ed. (2 vols., Paris 1799). 



1802: Vols. 3-4 to end of the eighteenth century (2 vols., Paris). 



In spite of its title, this book deals not only with mathematics, but also with 

 mechanics, physics and astronomy. It is a history of the physical sciences cen- 

 tered upon their mathematical nucleus. See my study on Montucla (Osiris 1, 

 519-67, 1936).
