A gruesome account of a 1666 blood transfusion¹ and amusing notes about how an 8-year-old Mozart responded to tests of his genius were published on Monday as part of an online history of scientific endeavor.

本周一，一家网站公布了一些重大科学发现的历史文献资料，其中包括一篇记述1666年一次可怕的早期输血经历的文章，以及有关八岁的莫扎特接受音乐才能测试的有趣记载。

The "Trailblazing" website was created by Britain's influential³ science academy the Royal Society, and includes handwritten papers on some of the most important scientific discoveries of the past three and a half centuries.

Benjamin Franklin's studies on flying a kite in an electrical storm from 1752 show the first time anyone had proposed that lightning is electricity and not a supernatural force.

And Edward Stone's 1763 notes on the success of willow⁴ bark（柳树皮） in treating fever document the beginnings of the discovery of salicylic acid（水杨酸） and the production of aspirin⁵（阿司匹林） - now one of the world's most used medicines.

The creators of Trailblazing say it is a "go-at-your-own-pace" virtual journey through science which the Royal Society hopes will inspire members of the public to see science as part of everyday life and culture.

Martin Rees, president of the Royal Society, said the papers showed "a ceaseless quest by scientists over the centuries...to test and build on our knowledge of humankind and the universe."

"They represent those thrilling moments when science allows us to understand better and to see further," he added.

The papers, taken from past issues of the oldest scientific journal in the English-speaking world, Philosophical⁶ Transactions, also include documents from 1776 on how Captain James Cook saved his sailors from scurvy⁷（坏血病） with pickled（盐渍的，醋泡的） cabbage, lemons and malt（麦芽） - long before ideas about nutrition developed.

They also include Stephen Hawking's early writing on black holes and Isaac Newton's 1672 landmark⁸ work on the nature of light and color and 1940 papers on the discovery of penicillin⁹（青霉素）.

Daines Barrington, a skeptical¹⁰ scientist who wanted to test the claim that Mozart was a genius when he visited London in 1770 at the age of eight, notes the musician was as distracted and playful as any normal boy, but showed remarkable¹¹ talent.

"The score was no sooner put upon his desk, than he began to play the symphony in a most masterly manner," he wrote.
