Eighty-seventh Critical Bibliography

of the History of Science and

Its Cultural Influences* (To 1 January 1962)

The eighty-seventh Critical Bibliography is the eighth to be organized and published under the system of classification established in 1953. The most recently published Critical Bibliography was CB 86 (Isis, 1961, 52: 445- 526). The present Critical Bibliography includes about 1,800 citations; it is organized into four main sections, as follows:

A-History of Science: General References and Tools

B-Science: Its History from Special Points of View

C -Histories of the Special Sciences D - Chronological Classification.

Each of these main sections is subdivided according to the scheme listed in the Table of Contents (pages 549-50, below).

The main purpose of the classification of the Critical Bibliography has always been "to satisfy the needs of historians of science in general, rather than those of historians of particular sciences," as was pointed out by Dr. George Sarton in the preface to the seventy- ninth Critical Bibliography, the last to be published by him. Thus a scholar interested in the publications that deal with, say, India will find works that deal with India in general or with any of the specific sciences in India under HS 35.1, and the student of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries will find both general surveys of that era and specific monographs on specialized subjects (such as the mathematical work of John Wallis, Harvey's studies on the circulation, or the founding of the Royal Society of London) under HS 37.

The historian who wishes to find all the works devoted to the subject of chemistry, in all its possible historical aspects, will have to look under each relevant rubric; there are thus many more citations of books and articles dealing with the history of chemistry than

* This Critical Bibliography is endorsed by the History of Science Division of the Inter- national Union of the History and Philosophy of Science.

merely those to be found in the section devoted to the physical sciences under HS 22.

The aim in this Critical Bibliography is to place each citation in its most restricted

position; in section D, the main chronological classification. Any work which cannot be fitted into that classification (including works that cover two or more periods) will be found in section C if it deals with a single science, or in section A if it deals with science in general.

Since no classification is perfect, the categories of this Critical Bibliography overlap, and all who use the Critical Bibliography are urged to examine all possible categories that might in any way be related to the subject of their primary concern. For instance, a study of microscopes, might be listed in section C under HS 24, Biological Sciences, or in HS 26, Medicine and the Medical Sciences, or in HS 22, Physical Sciences; studies of microscopes may also appear under any one of the subdivisions in section D (Chronological Classi- fication). The work of Harvey would be found under HS 37, Seventeenth Century, but the reader would have to look under both e, Biological Sciences, and g, Medicine.

As before, all citations have followed the style of the World List of Scientific Periodicals published in the years 1900-1950 (3rd edn., New York: Academic Press; London: Butter- worths Scientific Publications, 1952). This method uses capital initial letters for nouns, and small initial letters for adjectives. In general, conjunctions, articles, and prepositions are omitted. Titles consisting of a single word are not abbreviated. The following list contains those periodicals examined systematically. An asterisk marks entries not included in the list most recently published (Isis, 1961, 52: 445-447).

The British Journal for the History of Science

Under the auspices of the British Society for the History of Science and the editorship of Dr. H. D. Anthony, this new journal made its first appearance in June 1962. It is priced at 15 shillings a copy and it may be obtained by writing to Dr. Anthony in Melrose, 102 Norcot Road, Tilehurst, Reading, England. The contents of the journal will be surveyed regularly beginning with the next annual Critical Bibliography.

History of Science

On the initiation of A. C. Crombie and M. A. Hoskin a new review, devoted to "an annual review of literature, research, and teaching," has made its appearance in 1962. Edited by doctors Crombie and Hoskin with an advisory board consisting of G. Buchdahl, H. Butterfield, F. M. L. Poynter, and W. P. D. Wightman, the History of Science will appear annually and contain review articles, book reviews, and discussions of the general issues arising from the practice and development of the history of science. It is obtainable from W. Heffer and Sons, Ltd., Cambridge, England (30 shillings). The contents of History of

Science will be included in the next annual Critical Bibliography.

Japanese Studies in the History of Science

This new journal, published by the History of Science Society of Japan, appeared in Tokyo, 1962. It is published in English and is available from the History of Science Society of Japan, 2-8 Fujimicho, Chiyoda, Tokyo. Its contents will be surveyed in the annual Critical Bibliography.

Contributions to the annual Critical Bibliog- raphy will always be welcome. When included, critical commentary will appear over the sig- nature of the author. All contributors are advised to give their entries in the precise form of those in the Critical Bibliography and to classify the item in question according to the scheme described in the introduction to the Critical Bibliography and given in its table of contents. Sample entries and a copy of the classification scheme for the Critical Bibliography are available to those contributors who write and ask for them.

In addition to those whose help has been acknowledged above, the eighty-seventh Critical Bibliography has been prepared with the assistance of Carol B. Hewitt, Dorothy Stratton, Patricia Ward, Blanche Coll, and Aleida Thompson.

REASON, H. A. The road to modern science. v + 344 pp., plates, figs. London: G. Bell & Sons Ltd., 1959. 20s net. This is a volume intended specifically for English

students in the sixth form. The reviewer is faced, therefore, with a difficult problem, to wit: to what extent should bad history be tolerated when it is reasonably well written and addressed to an audience which, except for works like these, may never know that science has a history at all? The fact is that, as history of science, this is a very bad book. The early part fairly swarms with errors and shows an almost total lack of knowledge of the recent (i. e.,

the last thirty years) scholarship in the history of science. Indeed, for ancient and medieval science, this book may be viewed as a kind of fossil. It illustrates how difficult it is for new facts and interpretations to penetrate the layers of ignorance and prejudice which have been built up by generations of uncritical in- doctrination. Anyone who has need of defining " cultural lag " may point to Mr. Reason's book as a prime example.

And yet, the work is not devoid of value. As Mr. Reason approaches the twentieth century, his narrative increases in worth. His accounts of virology and immunology, of quantum theory and relativity are sound and should serve to stimulate any teen-ager to investigate further these fascinating fields. I am not fully acquainted with the materials available to younger readers in these areas, but I suspect that few accounts could be more exciting and more lucid than Mr. Reason's.

For readers of Isis, the real question must be, "Should I buy this work for my children? " If you are willing to spend some time correcting Mr. Reason's errors the answer, I feel, is "yes" for there is a current of real excitement running through this book that makes it worth its modest price.

graphs. Glencoe, Ill.: The Free Press, 1959. $17.50. This comprehensive work of reference presents and

analyzes a mass of facts concerning the people of the United States: their number and increase (including comparisons with other nations); their distribution by residence in various geographical sections and in urban or rural areas; their age, sex, marital and family status; their color-nativity-race; their incomes and occupations; their rates of fertility, illness, and mortality; their level of formal education, and their religious affiliation. Most of this information is drawn from the various censuses taken by the United States Government, and much of it is presented in series which extend back either to the first census in 1790 or to censuses in the nineteenth century. Useful charts, tables, and graphs make valuable chronological comparisons of the census data; almost every one of the book's 791 pages contains a chart, a table, or a graph, and the appendix contains an additional 68 pages of statistical tables. It can be noted with regret that the statistics concerning religious affiliation refer to the 1950's only, and that the book contains

no material on political affiliations and behavior. No one volume can contain everything, however, and this volume as it stands is a monumental and tremendously valuable compilation which should occupy a promi- nent place in every reference collection pertaining to the people of the United States.

6APEK, MILI. The philosophical impact of contemporary physics. xvii + 414 pp. Prince- ton, New Jersey: D. Van Nostrand Co., Inc., 1961. $7.50. The transformation of the classical ideas of space,

time, and matter into those of 1930 has been ex- tensively discussed. But Professor Capek felt the need to provide a survey of the radical change of outlook which matured in a brief thirty years for students who did not experience it. They will find here a

capable and interesting treatment which pursues suggestive sidelines and avoids many pitfalls, being written by a physicist turned philosopher. Classical and relativistic conceptions are fully discussed, while quantum theory perhaps receives less than due attention. Extensive references are given.

But this is neither an original nor an up-to-date report on the philosophy of physics. Cardinal issues of great methodological interest and physical importance which have emerged since 1930 are neglected, e. g. the problems of complexity, the nucleus, high energies, relativistic quantum theory, and invariance principles-to name only some. Must the philosophy of physics always be so safely retrospective?

Professor Capek is aware that physics is still search- ing for more comprehensive methods, and his final chapter is headed " In Search of New Ways of Under- standing." But two ideas which it stresses are old: the importance of imageless patterns without sensory qualities, and the isomorphism of duration and physical becoming. Until new ways are found leading to authentic achievements the philosophy even of early twentieth century physics will retain obscurities which, though known to many, are here conveniently neglected.

HERMANN, ARMIN. Grosse Physiker. Vom Werden des neuen Weltbildes. 178 pp., 66 Bildtaf. Stuttgart: Ernst Battenberg Verlag, 1959. Ldr. DM 34, Ln. DM 19.80. Apparently intended as a gift volume, this is an

uneven production in every sense. The work of each of the sixty-six selected physicists, from Galileo to

Tsung-Dao Lee (with about one-fourth of the list being Germans) is given about one page each. Some of these descriptions are quite satisfactory condensa- tions; others are largely unelucidated quotes from textbooks or from the subject's writings, and still others are rather simple repetitions of legends (" Und sie bewegt sich docht "). The big portraits chosen are sometimes surprisingly fresh, but are also sometimes widely reproduced or even gruesomely marred by heavy retouching (e. g., Michelson, Curie). The selection principle for choosing these particular physicists is not uniformly clear; Oppenheimer's description, for example, mentions none of his scientific contributions, but dwells exclusively on his Los Alamos laboratory directorship. Biographical information is kept to four lines or less!

Even if one does not match this work against a thorough volume such as Giinther Bugge's collabora- tive Das Buch der Grossen Chemiker, one is still left wondering what real usefulness may be intended for this collection. GERALD HOLTON

ROMER, ALFRED. The restless atom (Sci- ence Study Series). 198 pp., figs. Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday & Company, 1960. 95? This is the history of the unravelling of the prob-

lem of transmutation. It covers the period from the discoveries of Roentgen and Becquerel to the establishment of the concept of the nuclear atom by Rutherford. Alfred Romer, who teaches physics at St. Lawrence University, has written a vivid narrative which combines the excitement of a detective story with the sweep of a historical novel. Dr. Romer has reconstructed this great epic of modern physics from the raw material embodied in the scientific literature of the period. Addressed to the layman with no background in mathematics or science, it is accurate, authentic and readable - a fine popularization of an important scientific development.

There is a disturbing note. The publisher an- nounces this book as a part of The Science Study Series, which is to constitute "a fresh approach to the teaching and study of physics." There's the rub. For this reviewer, it is important to keep clearly in mind just what can and what cannot be accomplished by a scientific popularization. It can be enjoyed as a literary work; it can provide the stimulation that goes with a moderate amount of intellectual exercise, and most important of all, it can develop what is ephemerally called an "appreciation" of science. It cannot be the basis for serious teaching and study- especially of a science like physics. MILTON KERKER

Journey, is a beautifully written and challenging presentation of the becoming of man, although from a somewhat different point of view from that of the earlier book. Originally given in the form of six lectures at the University of Cincinnati, The Firma- ment of Time holds up a mirror to man so that he can see his own image, not only as that image appears to him at present but as an image that has slowly developed from successive and progressive insights obtained during the past few centuries. In essence we have here man's quest to find himself, to see his own true nature, and to see himself in his proper setting with regard to the future as well as the present and the past. What are we, what are we doing here on this planet, what is happening to us, and what may we do about it? These are the questions under- lying these lectures, and Eiseley feels them with a deep concern, for modern man, described accurately but unhappily as asphalt man, is cutting himself off from his sources at the roots and is in danger of becoming more profoundly lost than ever.

24. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, MICROSCOPES - ZOOLOGY

The theme of the book is itself presented in question form, beginning with "How the world became natural" which surveys the progress of understanding the nature of the earth, from special creation to catastrophism to uniformitarianism, and going on to the evolving comprehension of the nature and significance of fossils, the idea of evolutionary change, and the concept of the oneness of life, particularly animal life. The question of time, predominant in the title of the book itself, pervades the whole as the fourth dimension, and animal life is seen not as the myriad separate and different creatures familiar to us through our senses but as one, as the many- faceted thing that is one throughout time and of which we are ourselves but a single, bright and newly-polished surface. The latter part of the book is concerned more with the growing understanding that we have of our own immediate past--" How man became natural " - as a growth from less human, less polished forms made known to us from fossil fragments of the Pleistocene age. The image of man becomes an evolving image and we are made acutely aware that our growth unites us with the earthly life of which we are a part, and also that we are, as always, in a process of becoming something different from what we are. The capacity for self-awareness, man's truly unique quality, is the new radiant surface of life that we represent -a growth from dim and dismal forms extending back through an almost in- finity of time and perhaps, but only perhaps, becoming the light of future time. If life continues but we do not, it will be a pity but that is all. This is a poetic, passionate, moving book that is a joy to read and ponder over. N. J. BERRILL

philosophico-historical thesis that a new self-awareness developed in Western man in the 17th century in the form of a static abstract rationalism. That more adequate process concepts and concepts of an unconscious develop soon thereafter, become topical around 1800 and effective around 1900. Freud is rightly seen only as one link in a long chain. Then 100 pages of evidence are given, often poorly chosen as to relevancy and formulation. Still there remains enough startling and valuable material beginning with that found in Cudworth, Norris, Malebranche, Leibniz and surveyed partly before in E. von Hartmann's Phi- losophy of the Unconscious (1868) to make this book worthy of reading and preserving. The last chapter is again written in a spirit of philosophical prophecy which does not fall into the domain of this reviewer.

Philadelphia: The American Philosophical Society, 1961. $1.00. The fragment referred to in the title is about a

hundred words of text from an Arabic manuscript in which there is attributed to Xenocrates by Alex- ander of Aphrodisias the proposition that the relation between a species and a genus is like the relation be-

tween a part and a whole, the part being prior to the whole. This particular passage is otherwise unknown, but the general thesis fits in with the emphasis on the primacy of parts attributed to Xenocrates and combatted in the pseudo-Aristotelian De lineis in- secabilibus. Pines sees in the present fragment an indication that the Aristotelian questioning of the Platonic priority of genera was not quite the intellectual revolution it has been pictured, but that it was rather the second phase in an evolution of thought initiated by Xenocrates.

(Abhandlungen der Deutschen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, Klasse fur Mathematik, Physik und Technik, Jahrgang 1958, Nr. 6.) 28 pp., figs. Berlin: Akademie- Verlag, 1958. DM 4. The author claims that the discovery of continuous

division is the achievement of Hippasos of Meta- pontum in that either he himself made the discovery or he provided the impetus for its discovery through his disclosure of the existence of irrationals. There- upon Herr Heller attempts to show the way in which Hippasos and the mathematicians of his time could have arrived at the geometrical definition of continuous division. There were essentially two stages: (1) where continuous division is defined by means of the comparison of plane figures, (2) where later the newly established theory of proportions and some of its propositions were applied to it. This is corro- borated by Euclid's Elements II, 11 and VI, 30. The remarkable thing for Herr Heller is that in both cases the constructions which are carried out depend upon plane geometrical considerations. G. D. G.

the form of a triangle within a given circle, the question then becomes the following-namely, what is the necessary and sufficient condition in order to fulfill the stipulations of that problem. According to the solutions proposed by Butcher and Heath, and by A. S. L. Farquarson, the author maintains that there is a unique result. He considers the problem resolv- able if and only if the plane surface is equal to a rectangle whose area is part of another plane surface comprised of a square with side R and a rectangle with sides R and XR (31/2).

GROPENGIESSER, HILDEGUND. Die pflanz- lichen Akrotere klassischer Tempel. ix - 68. 35 plates. Mainz: Verlag Philipp von Zabern, 1961. $17. Starting with the carved floral fragments, Dr.

Gropengiesser has assembled the available pieces and reconstructed the floral design of the acroteria of the Parthenon and the temples at Argos and at Tegea. The extant pieces are photographed from all sides, measurements given, and then placed on top of a full- size drawing, which would, if all the measurements are correct, completely fill up the space given over originally to the decorations. A good idea of how acanthus leaves looked, for example, before floral designs became stylized, can be gained by examining the plates. A working bibliography is included.

floral and vegetative patterns, has also attempted to account for their origin. The superimposed flower, often no more than a stylized calyx, grows from the head of a goddess in a kneeling position. Because some of the figurines are known to be from a heraion, it is claimed that the figure represents Hera, goddess of childbirth, and the plant-motif, a vestige of an

older Near-eastern fertility cult. Precise descriptions and excellent photographs permit the identification of acanthus, poppy, and pomegranate. A full bibliography is included. J. STANNARD

mother's survival is implicit in written passages which are certainly not the subjects of modern amendment.

The operation may have been learnt from another people, perhaps during the Exile, or have been developed by the Jews themselves during the time of the Second Temple, or soon after. The loss of the skill may have depended on the Gentile attitudes in the early Middle Ages. On the origin and decline of the operation there is no direct evidence, but the hypotheses put forward here tally with the information available and provide a basis for discussion.

MIONI, ELPIDIO. Un Ignoto Dioscoride Miniato (I1 Codice Greco 194 del Seminario di Padova). 48 pp. + 21 plates. Padova: Studio Bibliografico Antenore, 1959. Mioni describes a Greek MS of Dioscorides of

the fourteenth century and reproduces, in full color, 13 of the illustrations of plants and another 5 in black and white. The color process is excellent. This MS of 200 leaves contains 467 miniatures and, in two separate, alphabetical lists, the Greek names of 501 plants. By comparing these indices or lists against those of the better-known Vienna MS of Dioscorides (the so-called Juliana Anicia Codex) written in 512 C.E., and by comparing the illustrations of these two MSS, Mioni shows that the Padua MS is essentially a copy of the Vienna MS. This has considerable importance because, of the 435 plants mentioned in the Vienna MS, only 366 are illustrated. Hence, one would expect the Padua MS to supply some of the lacunae and Mioni argues that 31 reproductions (now missing in the Vienna MS) can safely be reconstructed from the Padua MS. A further sense in which the Padua MS is important in the history of medical botany was unfortunately not utilized by Mioni. The 1906 rotogravure edition of the Vienna MS shows that Arabic synonyms of Greek plant names were added at a later date. In Plates, 8, 12-14, 17 of Mioni's booklet, the Arabic plant names are clearly reproduced. It would be well worth the time to investigate whether the Arabic names were also copied from the Vienna MS or were added later as were the Latin names (e.g. Plates 8, 10-11, 15); for Mioni demonstrates that the latter were added in the seventeenth century by Giovanni Rodio.

Hu has often been dismissed as "only a philologist"; Ch'en allows a more just estimate in these twenty essays, each a collection of Hu's notes on a topic in historiography, history, or philosophy. N.

35.2 FAR EAST

HO TZ'U-CHVN. Shih chi shu-lu (Bibli- ography of the Shih chi). iv + 234 pp. Peking: Commercial Press, 1958. 1 yuan. This is a detailed descriptive and critical record

of 44 editions and 18 manuscript fragments of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's Shih chi, the first of the Chinese "standard histories." The oldest is a Six Dynasties (A. D. third to sixth centuries) fragment discovered in Japan, and the newest the "definitive" 1936 edition by Ku Chieh-kang and Hsu Wen-shan. The author has excluded editions which he was unable to examine, forgeries, and the majority of modern editions.

The preface is a short history of the Shih chi tradition and a discussion of the general merits of various editions; Ho points out that only very recently have exhaustive collation and "scientific" criticism united to produce truly adequate texts. The articles range from one to ten pages long. In each he attempts to establish provenance, provides identifying physical data, and criticizes the text. His comments are detailed, generally precise, and well documented. Many errors transmitted in standard bibliographies are corrected.

Ho recommends the 1936 edition mentioned above for its text, and the monumental 1934 edition of Takikawa Kametar6 for its massive all-purpose commentary. In his article on the latter he points out serious inadequacies in its text. Except for a single short paragraph of monumental absurdity in which Ho pays his debt to Caesar, this work steers clear of current ideological issues and is of substantial value. M. SIVIN

HOU WAI-LU AND COLLABORATORS. A short history of Chinese philosophy (trans. Wang Cheng-chung). viii + 177 pp. Peking: Foreign Languages Press, 1959. Hou is the best-known purely orthodox historian

of philosophy on the Chinese mainland today. This sketch, intended for the general reader, is a beautiful example of how the millenia-old " praise and blame" principle of historiography has survived China's many catastrophes and been supplied with new criteria: "In the course of its continuous development over a period of some four thousand years, there have been, in Chinese philosophy as in the philosophies of other nations, two different national cultures and two opposing schools of thought constantly warring with each other: the feudal, bourgeois, reactionary culture and the democratic, socialist, revolutionary culture; the idealist, metaphysical theory and the dialectical, materialist theory," etc. While this book is not particularly accurate, it is full of surprises. Romanization is Wade-Giles with all aspirate and diacritical marks omitted. Book titles are given in translation only in the text; characters are provided in the index. N. SIVIN

NEEDHAM, JOSEPH; LU GWEI-DJEN. Efficient equine harness; the Chinese inventions. Physis, 1960, fasc. 2, 121-162. The throat-and-girth harness was replaced by the

breast-strap harness in the 3rd century B. C.; inter- mediate forms are visible in Ch'u state lacquer paintings of the previous century. Contemporary "textual evidence . . . of high tractive efficiency" was connected with the general replacement of chariot- poles by cart-shafts. The breast-strap was replaced by a collar harness as early as the last quarter of the 5th century in the Northern Wei empire. Its two parts were fused to produce the modern horse collar by (at latest) the 11th century. This was possibly an adaptation of the Bactrian camel pack saddle.

This article includes a detailed description of the Han (202 B. C.-A. D. 220) trace harness based on its depiction in art of the time. World-wide chronology of adoption of the innovations described is accounted for as a case of transmission to Europe by "steppe peoples."

Schriftenreihe der Nordwestdeutschen Der- matologischen Gesellschaft. 90 pp. Kiel: Lipsius & Tischer, 1960. The number of editions and translations of Fra-

castor's poem (1530) introducing the name Syphilis is considerable. We refer to the bibliography by Baum- gartner and Fulton (1935) listing 206 editions and 45 translations. In addition the excellent scholarly edition and English prose translation by Wynne- Finch with an introduction by James Johnston Abra- ham (London 1935) should be mentioned. The new German translation under notice deserves attention for several reasons. It is in trochees and hence much more pleasant to read than the hexa- meter of the original and of the usual verse translation. Moreover it is a fitting memorial to the translator who "died" in a penal concentration camp; as the editor says, the scanty official reports which he could obtain "reveal the whole tragedy of a Jewish physician and scholar in the Third Reich." The editor contrasts his fate with that of the Jewish medical historian and dermatologist Paul Richter (1865-1938) who was forced only to give up his work at the age of 68 and allowed to die of natural causes. A bibliography comprising twenty- two historical and seven medical papers by Seckendorf concludes the introduction. Finally the new series of small historical monographs in which the book appears is of interest. It is sponsored by a derma- tological society, and we mention in particular Vol. V: Gustav Wagner (Kiel) on the role of the Hanoverian Court physicians in eighteenth and nineteenth century dermatology, a thorough presentation of a subject of general medical-historical interest.

(Deutsche Geoditische Kom- mission bei der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Reihe E: Geschichte und Entwicklung der Geodasie-Heft Nr. 2.) 37 pp. Munich: Verlag der Bayerischen Akad- emie der Wissenschaften, 1961. In his Johannes Kepler, Stuttgart, Kohlhammer,

[1948], the late Max Caspar told of the transmission, through various hands, of the papers in Kepler's possession at the time of his death. These included most of the observations of Tycho Brahe, on which Kepler leaned heavily. Now, Martha List, Caspar's collaborator, describes this transmission in much greater detail and recounts at length the trials and tribulations of the Kepler family and of the numerous

scholars who attempted to publish all or part of the astronomer's legacy. Lack of money was the root of most of the difficulty, but the tale that unfolds also pictures the jealousy and cupidity of Tycho's heirs, the lack of competence of some who had possession of the manuscripts, the indifference of others, the passage of time which resulted in the loss in immediate value of the material before its historic importance was fully appreciated and also the appearance in print of portions of the work, of the Frisch edition of Kepler's Opera Omnia and the great folio edition, the Gesammelte Werke, individual volumes of which appear from time to time, bearing witness to the growing interest in Kepler among historians of science. The story of the wanderings of the major portion of the manuscripts comes to a close when those great treasures arrive at their present resting places - the National Library in Vienna and the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad and the Tycho Brahe collection in the Royal Library in Copenhagen.

Rights on the Indians described by Lederer. The crux of the ' Lederer problem' is why he should claim to have actually seen in Carolina a non-existent ' savanna ' and ' desert ' and a big 'lake' postulated to be an indentation of the Pacific Ocean. Here the discussion is identical with that in Dr. Cumming's bibliography of The Southeast in Early Maps (Princeton, 1958).

is a difficult one because of many unauthorized versions and spurious titles. Unfortunately, the present book, in spite of useful bio-bibliographical comments, suffers from grave shortcomings. The compiler does not make it clear which titles he has verified per- sonally, and there is an abundance of misprints. In view of the existence of previous bibliographies, referred to in the preface, a more reliable work might have been expected. OwsEI TEMKIN

two groups: purely thermodynamical from 1880-1890; thermodynamical-statistical, from the beginning of the 20th century.

The present publication is the work of a group of physicists constituting the Committee for the History of Science and Technology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It aims at giving the reader a full picture of the contribution by Polish scientists to molecular physics, bringing fifteen selected original papers (or translations thereof) from this highly important branch of science. The present selection contains only such essentially important contributions as provided the solution of theoretical problems now considered to be classical (the papers by Smoluchowski and by Wladyslaw Natanson) or to have opened up new fields in the application of certain novel experimental methods (the papers by Bodaxzewski, and by W. and E. Natanson).

The selection is intended for the use of both physicists and historians of sciences and culture. For this purpose, it was thought useful to add an introduction into the problems of this section of physics, and to provide the necessary notes. The latter contain explanations, and in some cases the entire mathematical procedure, which if included in the text, might have rendered it cumbersome. Readers who are not physicists may be glad to find, in the notes, bibliographical data and an outline of the further development of the ideas first put forth in the original papers. Bibliographical information completes the selection.

BERNARD, CLAUDE. Introducci6n al estudio de la medicina experimental. Versi6n cas- tellana antecedida de una historia critica de su vida y sus trabajos por Jose Joaquin Izquierdo. 418 pp., illus. Mexico City: Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico, 1960. In 1942, when Professor Izquierdo [1893- ] pub-

lished his Spanish translation of Bernard's Introduc- tion a l'etude de la Medicine Experimentale (1865) in M6xico, two Spanish translations had preceded his work, one by A. Espina y Capo in Spain (1880), and another by C. Garcia (1900) had appeared in Mexico. However, both these versions were practically unknown, having long sunk into the limbo of the forgotten. Izquierdo brought out a fine translation of Bernard's work and also produced a valuable critical study of this work on scientific method as applied to physiological research, in addition to providing a biography of Claude Bernard; the appearance of this second edition of Izquierdo's presentation of Bernard's work is testimony to the enthusiastic reception accorded it in 1942.

Index to the Eighty-seventh

Critical Bibliography

This index contains all the personal names appearing in the Critical Bibliography, with the exception of reviewers; it includes authors, editors, translators and the subjects of works cited. Some names, especially those of persons living in the Middle Ages, may appear under several forms. We have tried to render the index more useful by listing names under their most common forms, with a preference for Anglicized forms over other vernaculars (e.g., Pliny rather than Plinio, or Pline; Euclid, rather than Euklid, Euclides, or Euclide). Readers are urged, however, to look under all the various generally-used versions. We have tried to harmonize various systems of transliteration, but full reliance should not be placed on this. In general Russian names are transliterated according to the Library of Congress system (with omission of diacritical marks).

Bold-face page numbers indicate that a work about the person appears on that page; light- face numbers, a work written, edited, or translated by him.
