A reproduction of the front page of the ledger which records the names of the first individuals subscribing to The British Journal of Experimental Biology in 1923. Including the names of scientists and institutions from around the world, the journal had sold 29 subscriptions within the first six weeks. One of the first was taken by the News Editor of the Daily Express newspaper in London, closely followed by two of the journal's earliest champions, J. S. Huxley and H. G. Wells. Some of the entries can be seen more clearly in the following pages of this article.
