EVOLUTION OF SCIENTIFIC SERIALS. 245 
of scientific work renders the collaborator and accessory in 
even the most trivial detail co-responsible with the principal, 
and so the editor imbued with the scientific spirit is ready 
to acknowledge his work and the just author welcomes the 
acknowledgment. The tendency to fix individual responsi¬ 
bility for censorship and editorship is the outgrowth of the 
desire to fix responsibility for authorship, and indicates that, 
whatever be the case in statecraft, in science the executive 
session is doomed.
