Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Select Bibliography of Chemistry, 1492-1897: By Henry Carrington Bolton, First Supplement The Select Bibliography of Chemistry, 1492-1892, was published in 1893; this First Supplement includes works omitted in that volume and brings the literature of chemistry down to the close of the year 1897. In the following pages the lines of the original work have been followed, the term chemistry being taken in its fullest significance; the range of topics will be seen in the Subject-Index and their distribution in the Table on page vii. This Supplement docs not embrace Academic Dissertations, a catalogue of which is nearly ready for the press. As in the first volume, the titles are grouped in Sections with a view to facilitating reference: I. Bibliography; II. Dictionaries; III. History; IV. Biography; V. Chemistry, Pure and Applied; VII. Periodicals. Section VI., Alchemy, has been dropped. The scope of each Section is explained in the first volume, and it need only be here pointed out that in each (excepting those of Biography and Periodicals) the titles are arranged alphabetically by authors, translations of each work following the original in the alphabetical order of the English names of the languages. The order is the same as in the Table on page vii. In the Section of Biography the titles are placed under the names of the persons described, with cross-references from the authors. In the preparation of this Supplement I have been fortunate in securing, through the agency of the Smithsonian Institution, the co-operation of eminent men of science and letters in several pans of the world. In response to requests addressed to the gentlemen named below, they contributed more than two thousand titles, as shown in the statement: Titles Contributed. 13 Arabic, by Dr. Y. Sarruf, of Cairo, Egypt. 20 Finnish, by Professor Ed. Hjelt, of Helsingfors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
