Bolton, Henry Carrington
Catalogue of Scientific and Technical Periodicals, 1665-1895; together with chronological tables and a library check-list.. Second Edition.
Washington, Smithsonian Institution, 1897.

This work is similar to Scudder in some ways, but is confined exclusively to "independent" journals (i.e. non-societal journals). Although it does not list journals published by societies, its "Chronological Tables" tell us how few independent journals there were during the 18th century. From this we can see how predominant the role of scientific societies was in publishing the primary research literature until about the end of the 18th century.

A special feature of this catalogue is the plenitude of cross-references, especially from the names of editors of independent journals to the titles of these journals.
