Bücher von Joseph Priestley

Although Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) is best known now for his work in chemistry, he was also dedicated to promoting the investigation of electricity - a topic often overlooked by his contemporaries. In this 1767 work, he explores the history of electrical study from ancient Greece to the most recent experiments.

This two-volume work from 1807 details the life and achievements of eighteenth-century British philosopher, theologian and scientist Joseph Priestley. Volume 1 includes his autobiography and important appendices concerning his philosophy, political theory and religion.

This collection will be the first to make accessible to students Priestleys' Essay on the First Principles and The Present State of Liberty, encapsulating the political ideology of arguably the most important English theorist of the English Enlightenment.
