Memoirs of Joseph Priestley, to the Year 1795, is an autobiographical account of the life and work of Joseph Priestley, a renowned scientist, theologian, and political philosopher. The book was written by Priestley himself, up to the year 1795, and was later continued by his son to cover the period until his death. The memoirs provide a detailed account of Priestley’s childhood, education, and early career as a teacher and minister, as well as his groundbreaking scientific discoveries, including the discovery of oxygen. The book also covers Priestley’s involvement in political and social issues of his time, such as the American Revolution and the French Revolution, and his controversial religious views, which led to his persecution and exile from England. Overall, Memoirs of Joseph Priestley is a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of the most influential thinkers 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.
