The Royal Society of London compiled a list of all scientific papers
(not books) by scientists from all parts of the world in Catalogue o f
Scientific Papers, published in four series from 1867 to 1925. The list
begins in 1800 and runs into the twentieth century.
An important resource is the trade catalogues published by firms,
but which are quickly destroyed when out of date. Being rare, the following
world-wide guide is valuable, and it is to be hoped that a revised
edition will be prepared. R.G.W Anderson, J. Burnett, and B. Gee,
