On the Publication of Tables on Physics

The Physical Institute of the Moscow Scientific Institute is undertaking a large collective effort to compile, in the French language, physico-chemical tables which are to serve as a supplement to the already existing tables of Landolt and Börnstein and to the tables published by the French Physical Society. In the present tables it is proposed to include what did not enter into the above-mentioned tables, or what could not be sufficiently systematized in them and what at present requires thorough reworking. At several meetings in 1917 and in 1918, the general scope of the publication was clarified and collaborators were designated, among whom, from Moscow, will be: Lazarev, Andri (editors), also Bachinskii, Burshtein, Mozer, Papaleksi, Rakovskii, V. Titov, Tsentsiper and others; among Petrograd scholars, Krylov, Ioffe, Krutkov, Bursian and others agreed to take part; Rozhdestvenskii expressed agreement in principle. Scholars interested in the tables are asked to address the director of the Physical Institute, Academician P. P. Lazarev, at the address: Moscow, Miusskaya Square, Physical Institute of the Scientific Institute.
