Popular Science Monthly (?)

The original Popular Science Monthly (or The Popular Science Monthly, if you prefer) is here:

• Popular Science Monthly: 1872 to 1915 (Vol 1 No 1 to Vol 87 No 3)

And its successor, which subsequently merged into Science:

• The Scientific Monthly: 1915 to 1957 (Vol 1 No 1 to Vol 85 No 6)

Easy enough. No, the problem here is the other magazine. Here is an incomplete list of its hierarchy including all the magazines it absorbed:

• Bubier's Popular Electrician: 1890 to 1906 (Vol 1 No 1 to Vol 16 No 6)
• Electrician and Mechanic: 1906 to 1913 (Vol 17 No 1 to Vol 27 No 6)
  • Amateur Work: , absorbed
  • Building Craft:
  • Collins Wireless Bulletin:
• Modern Electrics and Mechanics: 1914 (Vol 28 No 1 to Vol 28 No 6)
  • Modern Electrics: 1908 to 1914?
• Popular Electricity and Modern Mechanics: 1914 (Vol 29 No 1 to Vol 29 No 6)
  • Popular Electricity and World's Advance: 19??
    • Popular Electricity in Plain English: 1908 to 1913
    • World's Advance: ??? to 1913
• Modern Mechanics: 1915 (Vol 30 No 1 to Vol 30 No 3)
• World's Advance: 1915 (Vol 30 No 4 to Vol 31 No 3)
• Popular Science Monthly and World's Advance: 1915 (Vol 87 No 4 to Vol 87 No 6)
• Popular Science Monthly: 1916 to 1969? (Vol 88 no 1 to Vol 194 no 6?)
  • Mechanics and Handicraft: 19xx to 1939
• Popular Science: 1969? to present (Vol 195 No 1? to present)

And to this day Popular Science claims continuity with the original Popular Science Monthly...

Texts

Roughly ascending order of difficulty.

• In the year 2889 - are scans of microfilm okay?
• Gentleman's Magazine Volume 36 November 1851 HISTORICAL NOTICE OF THE ATTEMPT MADE BY THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT TO RECTIFY THE CALENDAR, A.D. 1584-5. p. 451~459
• An Introduction to Chronology by James Hodgson 1747
• Memoirs of the Twentieth Century, Samuel Madden - only a Google Books scan, lots of ses
• On chronology and the construction of the calendar, with special regard to the Chinese computation of time compared with the European, by Dr. H. Fritsche - scan available, but it's all handwritten
• Playne Discourse of John Dee - digital copy available but not freely available
• Compendium novae rationis - can use scans from Clavius Romani calendarii a Gregorio XIII P.M. restituti explicatio, but how to upload? (just by itself or as part of Opera Mathematica? we have a PDF of the latter, the former obtained from Google Books last time)
