British Scientific And Technical Books PDF Download

Excerpt from A Catalogue of British Scientific and Technical Books: Covering Every Branch of Science and Technology Carefully Classi ed and Indexed The volume contains more than six thousand titles, and their satisfactory classification required careful con sideration. About fifty main groups were eventually decided upon and these were divided into nearly five hundred sub-classes. Even when a scheme of classification had been formed it was frequently difficult to determine under which head to place a book, but the Committee was fortunately able to secure additional assistance in accomplishing this task and desires to express grateful thanks for it. Prof. J. H. Ashworth, classified the titles of biological books, Miss M. S. Aslin those on agriculture, Prof. H. Wildon Carr dealt with books on philosophy and Miss M. Punnett and Prof. T. P. Nunn with those on mathematics. Other titles were classified by members of the Committee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
