By Joseph Priestly FREE Alt.Kindle/Nook/Other Eds. Priestley’s work on “airs” is not easily classified. As historian of science Simon Schaffer writes, it “has been seen as a branch of physics, or chemistry, or natural philosophy, or some highly idiosyncratic version of Priestley’s own invention”. Furthermore, the volumes were both a scientific and a political enterprise for Priestley, in which he argues that science could destroy “undue and usurped authority” and that government has “reason to tremble even at an air pump or an electrical machine”.

By Antoine Lavoisier FREE Alt.Kindle/Nook/Other Eds. The very high character of Mr Lavoisier as a chemical philosopher, and the great revolution which, in the opinion of many excellent chemists, he has effected in the theory of chemistry, has long made it much desired to have a connected account of his discoveries, and of the new theory he has founded upon the modern experiments written by himself. |
