The Scientific and Literary Treasury by Samuel Maunder Pdf

Excerpt from The Scientific and Literary Treasury: A New and Popular Encyclopedia of the Belles Lettres It may, at first sight, appear that a great disparity exists between the length of the difi'erent articles. It must be remembered, however, that many are merely definitions of technical terms, which could be better and more clearly expressed in a brief sentence or two, than in half a column. The magnitude or intricacy of others demanded a comparatively long discussion; and there are not a few which, either from their novelty or their present popularity, would be considered as too slightly noticed, if the same process of conden sation had been used in regard to them, as was applied to others, of equal importance perhaps, but more generally known, or better understood.

Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) (Classic Reprint) by William Skinkle Knickerbocker Pdf

Excerpt from Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) These movements of science have produced a Copious literature which has not enjoyed the same attention and reading as imaginative books, because, once the ideas are known and incorporated into the existing body of scientific knowledge, these scientific writings tend to acquire chiefly an historical interest. Yet they are monuments of the advance of civilization, and deserve a better fate. Many of them are still interesting to read as human documents because they illustrate how painfully and slowly man's exact knowledge of verifiable pheno mena has been accumulated. No one outside of the small company of highly trained scientists can read all of them through, yet most of them have sections which are as readable and as exciting as any mod ern novel. It is the purpose of this book to present to the young col lege student and to the general reader some of the more representative of these classics in the literature of science, bringing together in this convenient form at least some reminders of a vast field of reading where one may browse for a lifetime with interest and profit. If it be used in conjunction with a history of science it will readily supply a vivid sense of the movement of the mind of western civilization, in creasing in us a respect for the effort of our ancestors, and inspire us to encourage and to forward the work of contemporary scientists, and restrain us at least from hindering them in their efforts.

Scientific Romances by Charles Howard Hinton Pdf

Excerpt from Scientific Romances: First Series There are two ways of passing beyond the domain of practical certainty, and of looking into the vast range of possibility. One is by asking, What is knowledge? What constitutes experience If we adopt this course we are plunged into a sea of speculation. Were it not that the highest faculties of the mind find therein so ample a range, we should return to the solid ground of facts, with simply a feeling of relief at escaping from so great a confusion and contradictoriness.

A List of Books on the History of Science by Aksel G. S. Josephson Pdf

Excerpt from A List of Books on the History of Science: Supplement December, 1916 The List of Books on the History of Science, which was issued in 1911, recorded the books available in January Of that year, numbering some 1500 titles. Since then, however, a large amount of material on this subject has been received and not a few have been catalogued from the Gerritsen and Senn collections. This addition has been large enough to make it worth while to issue a supplement to the previous list, and it is hereby Offered as the twelfth of the Library's bibliographical publications. It contains nearly 800 titles. In 1915 a List of Books on the History of Industry and Industrial Arts, containing about 3300 titles, was issued as the eleventh publication. These three lists bring together a large and important class of books the titles of which are widely scattered through the classed catalogue and not readily available there as a class. The present list has the same scope and character as the first; it covers the social, physical, natural and medical sciences, while their technical ap plications are covered in the list on the history Of industry. It deals with the history of the sciences; it does not deal with the history of move ments or activities. The history Of economics, for instance, is included here, while economic history is included in the List of Books on the History of Industry. In the preface to the earlier volume quotations were made from writings Of some historians of science. To this it seems fitting to add, as apropos of the times, two statements by two well known scientists, the one a German, the other a Belgian. The former discusses the comparative value of what is known as general history and the history Of science, the second refers in a way that seems almost pathetic, to the relation Of science to peace, and of scientists to internationalism.
