One Hundred Fourth Critical Bibliography of the History of Science and Its Cultural Influences (to January 1979)

The present Critical Bibliography,* which includes 2735 citations, is the twenty-fifth to be classified according to the system established in 1953. The main purpose of the classification has always been, in the words of its founder, George Sarton, "to satisfy the needs of historians of science in general rather than those of historians of particular sciences". While the classification is both chronological and by subject, preference is given to the former. The reader who wishes to find all references to a particular subject, therefore, must examine several sections of the bibliography.
