STATUTES OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE SOCIETY

I. Purpose

1. This Society is called the History of Science Society, Inc. The Society was established to foster interest in the history of science and its social and cultural relations, to provide a forum for discussion and to pro- mote scholarly research in the his- tory of science. The Society pursues these objec- tives by the publication of its journal Isis; by the support and

subvention of other forms of scholarly publication; by the or- ganization of annual meetings and other programs; by the award of medals and prizes for outstanding contributions to the history of sci- ence; by the encouragement and sponsorship of local and regional sections of the Society; and by co- operation with other learned and scientific societies.

II. Membership 2. Persons of any nationality who are

interested in the history of science are eligible for membership in the Society. Applications for member- ship should be made to the Secre- tary for approval by the Council. The acceptance by the Treasurer of annual dues shall constitute formal recognition of membership.

3. Membership shall consist of three classes: (1) Member; (2) Student; (3) Sustaining. Members are those

who pay the annual dues. Student members are graduate or under- graduate students who pay the annual dues at the student rate; student members may remain in

this category for not more than three consecutive years. Sustaining members are those who contribute fifty or more dollars annually for the furtherance of the Society's work.

4. Libraries and other institutions are eligible to membership without vote.

A HISTORY OF THE

TH ERMOMETER AND ITS USE

IN METEOROLOGY

by W. E. Knowles Middleton $10.00

The history of the thermometer lies mainly in the controversies about its invention and about the origin of the Fahrenheit and centrigrade scales, and in the gradual understanding of the concept of tempera- ture. It was 1800 before people interested in thermometers began to see clearly what it was they were measuring. The impetus for improving thermometry came largely from study of the weather-the liquid-in- glass thermometer was the meteorologist's instrument before it was the chemist's or the physicist's. This study follows the de- velopment of indicating and recording thermometers until recent times. Meteor- ological applications of the thermometer are emphasized.

The Mathematical Papers of Isaac Newton Volume I: 1664-1666 Edited by D. T. WHITESIDE

With the assistance in publication of MICHAEL A. HOSKIN

The first volume of a fully annotated and critical edition of all known mathematical papers of Isaac Newton covers three exceptionally produc- tive years: his final one as an undergraduate at Trinity College, Cam- bridge, and the two following, parts of which were spent at his home in Lincolnshire when the university closed during an outbreak of plague. During this period the foundations were laid of his discovery of the calculus and of his work on the constitution of light.

Translations of papers in Latin face the original text and notes are printed on the page-openings to which they refer. $40.00

The Correspondence of Isaac Newton Volume IV: 1694-1709

Edited by J. F. SCOTT

Many of these letters concern Newton's administrative work at the Royal Mint, but his scientific activities continued at the same time.

Volume IV contains correspondence with Flamsteed about Newton's lunar theory and about Halley's comet. Chemistry is represented by his table of quantities and degrees of heat of various chemical phenomena. There is Newton's own 'blurb' for the Opticks and correspondence abou. the printing and publishing of Flamsteed's astronomical observations (Historia Caelestis) for which Newton was appointed a referee by Prince George of Denmark. $27.50

A History of Greek Philosophy Volume 2: The Presocratic Tradition from Parmenides to Democritus

W. K. C. GUTHRIE

The second of Professor Guthrie's projected five-volume work completes his study of the Presocratic tradition.

'The fine qualities for which the first volume has been everywhere praised are again in evidence here. It is comprehensive, judicious, lucid and illuminating: in short, a work of the very highest scholarship.'- Times Literary Supplement $14.50

Suggestions for Contributors to Isis

1. Manuscripts (original plus one copy) should be submitted to the Editor of Isis, Robert P. Multhauf, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. Con- tributors are advised to retain a copy for reference. All manuscripts should be typewritten and double-spaced, on one side of the page only, on paper of standard size and weight. Margins should be wider than usual to allow space for instructions to the printer.

2. Footnotes should be typed separately from the main body of the manuscript, double- or even triple-spaced. The footnotes should be indicated by superior numbers running sequentially through the whole article. Bibliographic source information should be given in footnotes, rather than parenthetically in the text. Since it is very important that the reference information be as complete, accurate, and unambiguous as possible, the following guidelines are given:

* In references to books, the following publication information is requested (in this order, preferably): author's name; complete and unabbreviated title of the book, underlined to indicate italics; edition and/or volume; place of publica- tion and publisher's name (this is especially important for books published after 1900); date of publication; page numbers cited.

* Classical or ancient works should include complete information also, pre- sented in the style that has become customary to the particular work. In designating parts of the work, any chance of misunderstanding should be avoided (e.g., the abbreviation "c." is not desirable, as it could mean either column or chapter).

* The following are samples of book citations:

John L. E. Dreyer, A History of Astronomy from Thales to Kepler (2nd ed., New York: Dover Publications, 1953), p. 363.

Diogenes Laertius, Vitae philosophorum, ed. Herbert Strainge Long (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1964), II, 522, 5 and 10.

* References to articles in periodicals should include author's name; title of article, in roman quotes; title of periodical, underlined; year; volume number, Arabic and underlined; number of issue if pagination requires this; page numbers.

Bernard S. Finn, " Laplace and the Speed of Sound," Isis, 1964, 55:7-19.

* In the first citing of a reference the title should be given in full. In suc- ceeding citations, op. cit. may be used with the author's name, or, if more appro- priate, an abbreviated version of the title with the author's name.

3. It is desirable that all personal names mentioned in the text and footnotes be identified with forename or initials, unless the name is obviously well known.

4. It is requested that all unusual alphabets and special characters be clearly marked for the typesetter. All diacritical marks should be carefully incuded also.

5. A small number of figures may be used to illustrate an article, numbered in the order in which reference is made to them in the text (the expense of printing a large number of illustrations must, out of necessity, be shared by the author). Line drawings should be directly reproducible - original drawings, pro- fessionally prepared, with detail and lettering that will reduce clearly to column width (2i") or double-column width (5"). Glossy prints should be furnished for all halftones.
