Original Copyright Holder
Unknown. The publisher of the journal in 1889 was N. D. C. Hodges who had taken over from the previous publisher and editor Samuel H. Scudder in 1884. (See “150 Years of Advancing Science“) Hodges was based in New York City, NY. The Library of Congress managed copyright registrations (rather than the district courts) at that time, but no digitized entries exist for Hodges as publisher or Science as a periodical. None of the covers, front matter, or individual articles from the 1880s include a copyright notice.
