Description
Book appears in unread fine condition. 90pp. A biographical account of the pioneer chemist Joseph Priestley who spent seven years of his life in the Wiltshire town of Calne. The book gives a full appreciation of an important 18th century figure in science, religion and politics who turns out to be as fickle and fallible as the rest of us.
