22 A CENTURY OF SCIENCE 



The situation is somewhat similar as to independent 

 scientific journals. A list of the names of those started 

 only to find an early death would be a very long one, but 

 interesting only historically and as showing a spasmodic 

 but unsustained striving after scientific growth. 



It seems worth while, however, to give here the names 

 of the periodicals embracing one or more of the sub- 

 jects of the American Journal, which began at a very 

 early date and most of which have maintained an unin- 

 terrupted existence down to 1915. It should be added 

 that certain medical journals, not listed here, have also 

 had a long and continued existence. 1
