"Yeni Osmanlılar" deyimi Ziya Paşa, Namık Kemal ve Ali Suavi gibi Tanzimat ve Birinci Meşrutiyet devrinde, özellikle 1865-1876 yılları arasında yazar ve fikir adamı olarak sivrilen şahısların meydana getirdiği topluluk için kullanılmıştır.

Sarton, who was born in 1884 in Belgium, came to the United States in 1915. He gave a few lectures and courses during his first years in America, and in 1918 he became associated with the Carnegie Institution of Washington. He had already founded Isis in 1912, while in Belgium, and although its publication was interrupted during the four years of World War I, it began to reappear in the postwar years when Sarton established himself in the United States.
