1811 - 1820 (Bd.1. - Bd.30)   C	Journal für Chemie und Physik This title represents some bibliographic challenges. The entry in GBV German Union cat.

Schweigger, but makes no mention of the Society at all. The reason for the link is probably that E is contained in D (the successor of C). Indexed RSLC Continued by D.

The entry in GBV German Union cat. (for holdings in Hannover) indicates that the title was authored by the Society.
