Trailblazing dog

By insidebooks | November 30, 2009

For those interested in the history of journals publishing, a fascinating archive has just gone up online. The Royal Society showcases 60 articles selected from an archive of more than 60,000 published by the Royal Society between 1665 and 2010. These include an article by Robert Hooke from 1667 - his account of an experiment in which a dog was kept alive by blowing through its lungs with a pair of bellows; and from 1891 Francis Galton’s proof that fingerprints are unique.
