There are also several bibliographies of chemistry which deal with the older literature but are of considerable historical importance. A Select Bibliography of Chemistry by H. C. Bolton (Smithsonian Institute, Washington, 4 vols, 1893-1904), covers the literature of chemistry from 1492 to 1902 but deals mainly with books published in America and Europe and excludes much of the periodical literature. The Bibliography section is fairly complete but only the most important alchemical works are mentioned. In most sections titles are arranged alphabetically by author which makes it convenient for reference, and the sections on history and alchemy have useful annotations. Dissertations listed are mainly from the universities of France, Germany, Russia and the United States. It is a useful guide to the older chemical books.
