Is there anywhere on Commons to upload this yet? If not, something along the lines of:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_Journals
and then order them by which issue, which article, etc.

You of course realize that mass downloads of journals may be construed as a copy of a significant part of a database, which is protected by a special copyright (much shorter than the regular one) under EU directives?

For my money
[x] say "such a restriction on hundreds of years old material is odious" and do it anyway
but IANAL (and I'm not being paid to do this either). I might add that downloading the stuff is a non-trivial process...
Why is everybody on my two mailing lists suddenly being IANAL?
Anyway... mass downloading images from a database recalls to my mind something about fr.wikiquotes...

UK law is a confusing mess, I'll let our British friends search for it.
