Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of Dr. Joseph Priestley, to the Year 1795, Written by Himself: With a Continuation, to the Time of His Decease, by His Son I have likewise thought it proper to add a review of my father's literary labours, in Order to give the reader a knowledge of his Opinions on many impor tant subjects, likewise, of the share in the increase of human knowledge, which may be justly ascribed to his exertions. The Appendices giving an account of his Chemical, Philosophical, Metaphysical, Political and Miscellaneous writings, as well as the Summary of his religious Opinions, are written by my friend Judge Cooper, formerly of Manchester in England. For the Appendix containing an analysis of my fa ther's Theological writings, I am indebted to the Rev. W. Christie, formerly of Montrose in Scot land.
