1. The Study of the History of Education∗
2. On the other hand, there has been a revival of interest in using the history of science in education. See E. J. Holmyard, ‘The historical method in teaching science’, School Science Review, 5 (1923-4), 227-33; A. E. E. Mackenzie, The major achievements of science, 2 vols. (Cambridge, 1960); A. C. Crombie, ‘History and philosophy of science at Oxford’, History of Science, 1 (1962), 57-61; G. Buchdahl, ‘History and philosophy of science at Cambridge’, ibid., 62-6; A. H. Evans, ‘A sixth form course in the history and philosophy of science’, ibid., 2 (1963), 84-90; A. C. Crombie, (Ed.), Scientific change (London, 1963), symposium on teaching the history of science, 757-94; E. Clarke, ‘Medical history: a neglected subject’ Murmur (Cambridge University medical journal), Michaelmas 1966, 1-5; S. G. Brush, ‘The role of history in the teaching of physics’, Physics teacher, 7 (1969), 271-80; F. R. Jevons, The teaching of science. Education, science and society (London, 1969); D. Steele et al., History of scientific ideas. A teacher's guide (London, 1971); G. B. Kauffman, (Ed.), Teaching the history of chemistry (Budapest, 1971); S. G.

3. The six approaches (Briggs, op.cit., 5-8), local studies, comparative history, quantitative studies, administrative history, working class social history, and intellectual history, have all attracted the attention of historians of science in recent years. Examples will become apparent below

5. Isis, founded in 1912 by George Sarton, is the official journal of the American History of Science Society. See Magda Whitrow, (Ed.), Isis cumulative bibliography, 2 vols. (London, 1971). These volumes index personalities and institutions. Two further volumes in preparation will be arranged by periods and civilisations, as well as by subjects
