Book Description
Periodicals played a vital role in the developments in science and medicine that transformed nineteenth-century Britain. Proliferating from a mere handful to many hundreds of titles, they catered to audiences ranging from gentlemanly members of metropolitan societies to working-class participants in local natural history clubs. In addition to disseminating authorized scientific discovery, they fostered a sense of collective identity among their geographically dispersed and often socially disparate readers by facilitating the reciprocal interchange of ideas and information. As such, they offer privileged access into the workings of scientific communities in the period. The essays in this volume set the historical exploration of the scientific and medical periodicals of the era on a new footing, examining their precise function and role in the making of nineteenth-century science and enhancing our vision of the shifting communities and practices of science in the period. This radical rethinking of the scientific journal offers a new approach to the reconfiguration of the sciences in nineteenth-century Britain and sheds instructive light on contemporary debates about the purpose, practices, and price of scientific journals.

Book Description
Excerpt from Educational Periodicals During the Nineteenth Century This study includes consideration of periodicals for the promotion of public-school education, those which deal with the history or scientific study of education, or the technique of schoolroom work, improvement of teachers and general school news. It excludes, at least from all attempt at comprehensive treatment, college and nor mal school papers; religious, church, and Sunday school publica tions; periodicals devoted to Indian or Negro education, private or parochial schools, and institutions or the interests of defectives; those designed to promote business college or commercial education, voice culture, and elocution; school papers issued by or for local city school systems, and mere advertising sheets. The principal source of information, fully indicated in the bibliography, has been the periodicals themselves, of which about volumes have been examined, two-thirds of this number being studied in detail. Very few of the articles which have attempted to treat the history of individual groups of this class of publications can be depended upon as to the accuracy of their facts; they have been of great assistance in finding material, and when corroborated byother independently derived evidence it has seemed safe in a few cases to accept their statements. For convenience the term school journal will be used quite frequently in discussion, with the recognition at the outset that in content, purpose, and general character, the periodicals included by it are by no means a uniform class. Such variations as occurred are part of the subject matter of the study, and there need be no occasion for misunderstanding if Barnard's American Journal of Education, the School Review, the Indiana School Journal, and the Normal Instructor should be referred to as educational periodicals, journals of education, or school journals. As a rule, in general ref erences to a periodical as a series, only the date of its origin is given in the text; by means of the chronological list at the close of the study any publication may be more fully identified.
