APPENDIX I THOMAS BED DOES' CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MONTHLY REVIEW, 1793-1801 The material given in this Appendix is based on the work of Benjamin C. Nangle and his original scholarship is here gratefully acknowledged. His two Indexes to the Contributors and Articles in the Monthly Review a together give a history of the Review and biographical accounts of the contributors. In them, the main reviews are listed in alphabetical order of the name of the author of the book reviewed. The Indexes to the Foreign Supplement, which appeared three times a year numbered independently, give only the number of the review article. To show more clearly the significance of Beddoes' work as a reviewer and its relation to his other work, his writings are here placed in chronological order. It can be seen that once the Pneumatic Institute was in being, Beddoes no longer contributed main articles; his reviewing came to an end when he was busy with Hygeia and his attentions turned to Preventive Medicine.
