Museum of the history of science: 



This museum is not yet formally estabUshed but the elements of it have been 

 gathered and shown to the public. "An exhibition of historic scientific instruments 

 and books in the East Room of the Old Schools, 4-11 Nov. 1944" (20 p., Cambridge 

 1944). 



The exhibition was arranged by the History of Science Lectures Committee. 

 The exhibits were drawn from the collection which R. S. Whipple is presenting to 

 the University. As soon as the collection is permanently housed, it will be much 

 increased (as happened in Oxford) by donations from various sources, chiefly the 

 old Cambridge colleges.

There are in Glasglow two important collections of books concerning the history 

 of chemistry. 



The first was built by James Young ( 1811-83) and was the basis of an elaborate 

 bibliography by John Ferguson (1837-1916), about whom see Isis (39, 60-61, 

 1948, portrait), Bibliotheca Chemica (2 vols. Glasgow 1906). The Young collection 

 is now preserved in the Royal Technical College. 



The second was built by Ferguson himself and is preserved in the Library of the 

 University. Catalogue (2 vols. Glasgow 1943; Isis 35, 263). This collection in- 

 cludes many unpublished papers of John Ferguson (Isis 39, 61).
