8vo (22.5 cm), XII, 258 pp, 20 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelfwear). From the blurb: "Joseph Priestley, born in 1775, has been called the 'father of pneumatic chemistry'. A tireless, skillful experimenter, Priestley did more than anyone else to provide evidence for the correct interpretation of the part played by the atmosphere in the life of man, animals and plants. As Sir Humphry Davy was to estimate it, "Chemistry owes to him some of her most important instruments of research, and many of her most useful combinations; and no single person ever discovered so many new and curious substances". This, the first complete study of Priestley's career and personality, deals not only with his scientific work, but vividly describes how his turbulent life resulted from his insistence on the right to freedom in thought, education and religion.".
