Bibliothèque Britannique
The Bibliothèque Britannique was a monthly journal of the sciences and the arts published in Geneva by Marc-Auguste Pictet, his younger brother Charles, and his friend Frédéric-Guillaume Maurice. It covered a wide range of scientific, literary, economic, and political topics. It was created in 1796, and comprised 90 volumes, 36000 pages in all. Originally intended to provide translations of scientific and literary publications from English into French, it became the Bibliothèque Universelle in 1816 when original French articles were also introduced.
