The very first volume of America's oldest scientific journal, opened for the modern reader. Its pages range from an essay on musical temperament to the wide curiosity of a young scientific nation finding its voice. A time capsule of early American inquiry. See what counted as science at the dawn of the American Journal of Science.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
