Nicolas Bourbaki's Elements of the History of Mathematics covers the history of mathematics, an and is a nearly unaltered reproduction of the historical notes from Bourbaki's Elements of Mathematics. The historical notes themselves are a great source for this type of information, and this book collects them in a nice readable format. It is pretty funny the way Bourbaki writes about the contributions of members of the group (from the chapter on uniform spaces: "Uniform spaces have only been defined in a general way recently by A. Weil...". He also plays up the importance of filters, in classic Bourbaki style.).

Edit: Fixed.
