'[Science in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical] is a highly instructive book to read, one that should reorient most readers' understandings of how scientific knowledge was transmitted during the nineteenth century, and one whose lessons about methods of scholarship of the period provide a model for future research.' Anne Humpherys (Nineteenth-Century Literature).
