Sobre El Autor
Born in Leeds, England, Joseph Priestley received an education for the dissenting ministry. However, throughout his life, his religious views were far more liberal than those of his fellows, and part of the time he earned his living as a schoolmaster, and later, as the librarian for Sir William mostrar más Petty, the second Earl of Shelbourne. During those six years, Priestley systematically studied a variety of gases, including nitrogen oxides, ammonia, and oxygen. In 1774 he prepared and collected oxygen by heating mercuric oxide and collecting the gas over mercury. During separate experiments with mice and burning candles in closed systems, he noted that the "dephlogistonated air" or oxygen supported combustion and respiration better than air or nitrogen. Priestley was an amateur scientist; he focused much of his effort on the religious and political issues of late eighteenth-century England. During the Birmingham riots of 1791, he was a target of the mobs because of his liberal religious views. Finally, in 1794, he immigrated to the United States and for the last 10 years of his life lived in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas
"Cursory. Unworthy of Priestley." - Journal, 26 April 1804.
"Coleridge, in reading your Musings I felt a transient superiority over you: I have seen Priestley. I love to see his name repeated in your writings. I love and honour him most profanely. You would be charmed with his sermons, if you never read them. - You have doubtless read his books, illustrative of the doctrine of necessity. Prefixed to a late work of his, in answer to Paine, there is a preface, giving an account of the man and his services to men, written by Lindsey, his dearest friend - well worth reading" --Lamb letter of 1796.… (más)
"This is the work of a dying man of extraordinary application and research. But Enfields History of Philosophy will show its glaring imperfections. ..." (Inscribed on verso of half-title).
