Catalogue Of Scientific Papers 1800-1900 - Volume II Mechanics
Author: Various

the Preface to the volume forming the Subject Index to the papers on Pure Mathematics for the nineteenth century, published in 1908, an outline of the history of the Royal Societys Catalogue of Scientific Papers is given it is not necessary to repeat that account. The present volume deals with the papers on Mechanics as classified in the Schedul... more »es of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature it contains 21295 entries referring to the papers contained in 959 serial publications. The Index titles for papers published in the latter part of the century, from 1884 to 1900 inclusive, have been made by Referees familiar with the subjects, who have consulted the original papers and have made the titles from the contents of the papers and not merely from their headings. It was intended that the Index entries for the papers from 1800 to 1883 should be made from the complete titles as printed in the Catalogue of Authors already published but it was soon found that many of these titles were too indefinite for such minute classification, and reference has had to be made to the original papers in a large number of cases. The subjects are arranged under the registration numbers adopted in the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature a copy of Schedule B Mechanics of that Catalogue, is prefixed to the Index, with indication of the pages on which the titles for the different sections occur. It has occasionally been found convenient, in order to save repetition in printing, to group entries under a sub-heading which is not contained in the Inter- national Catalogue Schedule. Where this has been done the sub-heading is printed in italics. In some of these cases the words of the sub-heading are understood to exist before the entries following them, and consequently these entries commence with small letters. These minor classifications, being often made mechanically on the basis of the explicit mention of the sub-heading, are not to be taken as exhaustive cognate entries may be found elsewhere under the same main heading. The unit of classification is thus the complete numbered heading. Preface The entries in the Index are arranged so that reference can be made, if necessary, to the complete titles in the Catalogue of Scientific Papers. Generally the authors name together with the date will indicate the volume in which the title of the paper may be found in full. But these clues are insufficient when the paper is anonymous, or occurs in Volume XII or in the additions to Volume VI. They are also at fault for titles marked with an asterisk showing that they belong to previous volumes in these cases the number of the volume is given in the Index entry in small Roman numerals within brackets. The references have been made as short as possible thus the number of only the initial page of each paper has been given but the length of the paper may be found by reference to the Catalogue of Authors. When an error has been found in an authors name in the it Catalogue, is corrected in the Index and a reference made to the error...
