Joseph Priestley, Scientist, Philosopher, and Theologian

"This volume, with essays on the different aspects of Priestley's work by specialist authors, provides a new, up-to-date account of all of Priestley's activities, as a minister, educationalist, scientist, philosopher, theologian, political thinker, and historian, with a summary of his life and an account of his last years in America. It will re-establish him as a major intellectual figure in Britain and America in the second half of the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
