A 19 volume set covering the journal literature of science from 1800 to
1900. Papers concerned only with medicine or surgery are excluded, but
papers with significant anatomical or physiological content are included.
Matter of a purely technical or professional nature is excluded. The
journals indexed include both serial publications of scholarly
societies and independent journals.
For a few important journals that began towards the end of the 18th
century, the journal was indexed from its beginning.
Each time-sequence of the Catalogue is arranged
alphabetically by the last name of the author, and subarranged
chronologically for each author.
From 1908 to 1914, three subject indexes were prepared:
v.1 for Pure Mathematics (1908);
v.2 for Mechanics (1909);
v.3, pt.1 for Physics: Generalities, Heat, Light, Sound
(1912); and
v.3, pt.2 for Physics: Electricity and Magnetism (1914).
The preparation of further subject volumes was called to a halt by the
disastrous events of World War I.
