Catalogue Of Scientific Papers 1800-1900 - Volume I Pure Mathematics
Author: Various

PREFACE VT7HEN the plan for a Catalogue of Scientific Papers was drawn up in 1857 by the Royal Society, it was also contemplated that a Subject Index to the papers should be made. During the compilation of the well known twelve volumes of the Catalogue of Authors 1800 1883 much material was collected for the Subject Index by the Committee of the... more » Society which had charge of the work, but nothing was printed. In 1898 it was determined to undertake the continuation for the period 1884 1900, and at the same time to prepare material for a Subject Index for these last seventeen years of the century. It was afterwards decided that one Index should be made to the papers of the whole of the Nineteenth Century and to bring this Index into relation with the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, which deals with publications subsequent to 1900, the Index was to be arranged in accordance with the schedules of the different sciences which form the basis of the International Catalogue. The extent of the work for the period 1884-1900 proved to be so great that the resources of the Royal Society would have been quite inadequate for its completion. Its continuation has been made possible by liberal donations received from various sources. The Catalogue is especially indebted to Dr Ludwig Mond, F.R.S., a member of the Committee entrusted with its preparation, who has encouraged and forwarded its progress in every way for many years past in particular, in addition to similar generous donations at earlier stages, Dr Mond recently undertook to provide an extremely liberal subsidy during the three years 1907 9, which has enabled the work to be pressed forward rapidly. The Subject Index will be published as separate Index-volumes for each of the seventeen Sciences of the Schedules of the International Catalogue, viz. Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorology, Mineralogy, Geology, Geography, Palaeontology, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anatomy, Anthropology, Physiology, and Bacteriology. The practical advantage which will accrue from thus classifying the literature of each Science seems to be amply sufficient, in spite of un- avoidable imperfections, to justify the great expense that has been involved. In the past a student interested in a single branch of the subject would probably consult special Treatises and Reports from which he could obtain references to the more important memoirs. But it often happens that such references are transferred simply from one treatise to another, and Preface experience shows that important contributions that have once dropped out of sight may for a long time, or indeed ever afterwards, be overlooked. When the whole literature is set out systematically and exhaustively under appropriate headings as in the present volume, such accidents are guarded against so far as seems to be possible. The present volume dealing with Pure Mathematics is the first instalment of the Subject Index it contains 38748 entries referring to 700 serials. It is believed that these entries cover all the contents of the serials indexed with the exception of about 750 short notes mostly falling under 6810 and 7210 which were not thought of sufficient permanent interest to be entered...
