Hi Stephen. Why did you post this? Is it significant somehow?

Hi Nick. I posted this because I’ve been spending some time reviewing the literature pertaining to the historical auxiliary sciences. This work is significant because it is one of the first works ever to have “historical auxiliary sciences” (Historischen Hilfswissenschaften) in its title. It also shows the state of these sciences near the end of the 18th century. I’ll be posting more notes here on this article but just wanted to get it up so people could see what I’ve been looking at
