"The oldest continuous journal of an academy of science. Originally founded after a discussion of the Journal des Sçavans (see lots...), edited and financed by Henry Oldenburg (1615?-1677), it has served as a model for later published proceedings of other scientific academies. The bibliography of modern science is principally a journal bibliography, descended from these two sources."--Grolier/Horblit 95b.
