CHAPTER VIII
THE LITERATURE OF SCIENCE
A. PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS
This bibliography is intended only to indicate the sources of information
on the general history of mathematics and physics during the period and to
refer to the more important works, without attempting a list of references
suitable to special or technical histories. And, in accordance with tbe plan of
the work, books by living writers are, as a rule, omitted.
(a. ) Books and Articles dealing generally with Scientific Work and
Discovery
On scientific writers in the last half of the eighteenth century and the
beginning of the nineteenth century: Brougham, Henry, lord, Lives of
Men of . . . Science of the time of George III, 1845.
On the history of the steam-engine: see the article in The Encyclopaedia
Britannica, 11th edn, vol. xv.
On the history of optical discoveries from the time of Sir Isaac Newton
to about 1850: Brewster, Sir D. , Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton, 2 vols. , 1855.
On the history of astronomy during this period: Herschel, Sir John,
Outlines of Astronomy, 7th edn, 1864; Berry, A. , History of Astronomy,
1898; Ball, Sir R. S. , The Story of the Heavens, 1892; Clerke, A. M. , History
of Astronomy during the nineteenth century, 2nd edn, 1887, and Modern
Cosmogonies, 1905.
On the general progress in physical science during the first half of the
nineteenth century to about 1875: Nichol, John Pringle (1804-1859), A
Cyclopaedia of the Physical Sciences, 1857; see, also, Gilfillan, G. , Galleries
of Literary Portraits, 2 vols. , Edinburgh, 1857; Herschel, Sir John F. W. ,
Familiar Lectures on Scientific Subjects, 1867, and Tait, P. G. , Recent
Advances in Physical Science, 1876; and, on the progress in later times,
Whetham, W. C. D. , Recent Developments of Physical Science, 1904.
On theories of the ether with special reference to optics and electricity:
Whittaker, E. T.
, History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity, Dublin,
1910.
As indicating the normal instruction given in elementary pure mathe
matics, reference may be made, for the early Victorian years, to the text-
books by Peacock, G. , for the middle of the period, to those by Todhunter, I. ,
and, for later years, to those by Smith, C. and to Casey's Sequel to Euclid's
Elemente.
(6. ) Works dealing with the Discoveries of some of the more prominent
Mathematicians and Physicists of this Period
