Owners and editors
From 1865 to 1893 the (Hardwicke's) Science-Gossip was published by Robert Hardwicke (London). In 1893, John T. Carrington became proprietor of ' Science-Gossip,' which he edited until 1902. After a few years of great, and marked, improvement, the publication was allowed to drop owing, we believe, to insufficient financial support. Strangely, its collapse, we were given to understand, was bewailed by none so greatly as those who read it at Society meetings, etc., but refused their personal quota to ensure its success.
The idea underlying Science-Gossip was to provide for scientific studies what Notes and Queries provides for literary studies.[4] Science Gossip is cited over 100 times in Alfred Cotgreave's 1900 contents-subject index.[5] Editors included the botanist Mordecai Cubitt Cooke and John Eller Taylor.
