A Plea For Pure Science is a book written by Alexander William Williamson in 1870. The book is based on the inaugural lecture given by Williamson at the opening of the Faculty of Science in University College, London. The author argues in favor of pure science, which is the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, rather than for practical or commercial purposes. Williamson believes that pure science is essential for the progress of society and that it should be given more importance and support. He also highlights the importance of scientific education and the need for universities to focus more on pure science. The book is a call to action for the scientific community to prioritize pure science and to recognize its value in shaping the future of society. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the role of science in society and the importance of scientific education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
