Joseph Priestley by Thomas E. Thorpe is a biography of the life and work of Joseph Priestley, an 18th-century British scientist and theologian. The book explores Priestley's early life, his education, and his career as a scientist, which included groundbreaking work on the properties of gases, the discovery of oxygen, and the development of the theory of phlogiston. Thorpe also delves into Priestley's religious beliefs and his involvement in the dissenting church, as well as his political views and his role in the American Revolution. The book provides a detailed portrait of a complex and influential figure in the history of science and religion, and sheds light on the intellectual and cultural landscape of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
