Memoiri degli spectroscopisti

Perhaps mention should be made here of the occasional help of comprehensive historical articles, especially if their aim was to present a complete survey of a subject. An American example is the paper by Silliman (21) on American Contributions to Chemistry which covers over 60 pages. In this review of the work of the century 1774 to 1874 one finds not only the names of now familiar periodicals, such as the Journal of the Franklin Institute and American Journal of Science, but also less familiar ones, such as New York Medical Repository, Boston Journal of Chemistry, New York Medical and Philosophical Journal, Thomsons Annals of Philosophy, Memoire des savants Strangers, and Memoiri degli spectroscopisti italiani.
