Second edn. 8vo, pp. 76 + 36 (appendix). Rebound in mid 19th century 1/4 leather. Well rubbed, title page soiled. A good copy. From wikipedia: "The Priestley Riots (also known as the Birmingham Riots of 1791) took place from 14 July to 17 July 1791 in Birmingham, England; the rioters' main targets were religious Dissenters, most notably the politically and theologically controversial Joseph Priestley. Both local and national issues stirred the passions of the rioters, from disagreements over public library book purchases, to controversies over Dissenters' attempts to gain full civil rights and their support of the French Revolution. The riots started with an attack on Birmingham's Royal Hotel - the site of a banquet organized in sympathy with the French Revolution. Then, beginning with Priestley's church and home, the rioters attacked or burned four Dissenting chapels, twenty-seven houses, and several businesses. Many of them became intoxicated by liquor that they found while looting, or with which they were bribed to stop burning homes. A small core could not be bribed, however, and remained sober. The rioters burned not only the homes and chapels of Dissenters, but also the homes of people they associated with Dissenters, such as members of the scientific Lunar Society. While the riots were not initiated by Prime Minister William Pitt's administration, the national government was slow to respond to the Dissenters' pleas for help. Local Birmingham officials seem to have been involved in the planning of the riots, and they were later reluctant to prosecute any ringleaders. Industrialist James Watt wrote that the riots "divided [Birmingham] into two parties who hate one another mortally".Those who had been attacked gradually left, leaving Birmingham a more conservative city than it had been throughout the eighteenth century.".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. PRIESTLY, Joseph. Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air. London, printed for J. Johnson, 1775, volume 1, second edition. Xxiii, 323, two engraved plates. Volume one (of three) only is offered here, in the second edition, appearing one year after the publi-cation of the first edition, and in the same year as volume two, and preceding the 1777 printing of volume three. [++] This is a VERY skillful and excellent total rebins of this volume I had to look very closely at this to determine if this is a modern binding made to look like an orig-inal binding in excellent condition. Neverthess, it is a wonderfully rebound book. There is some modest foxing on the title page, as well as an older owner's name struck through in pen, also on the title. FINE condition. [++] A tiny and very fine "N.V. Sidgwick/Lincoln/Nov. 1902" ink inscription resides at the top right corner of the free endpapers. I do believe that this is Nevil Vincent Sidgwick, (1873-1952, Dsc 1901, Oxford) English theoretical chemist who made significant contributions to the theory of valency and chemical bonding. That "Lincoln" would refer to "Lincoln College, Oxford, where Sidgwick became a fellow in 1901 and where he remained for life. [++] "Priestley's first volume of Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air outlined several important discoveries: experiments that would eventual-ly lead to the discovery of photosynthesis and the discovery of several airs: "nitrous air" (nitric oxide, NO), "vapor of spirit of salt" (later called "acid air" or "marine acid air"; anhydrous hydrochloric acid, HCl), "alkaline air" (ammonia, NH3), "diminished" or "dephlogisticated nitrous air" (nitrous oxide, N2O), and "dephlogisticated air" (oxygen, O2). Priestley also developed the "nitrous air test", which tested for the "goodness of air": using a "pneumatic trough", he would mix nitrous air with a test sample, over water or mercury, and measure the de-crease in volume the principle of eudiometry. After a small history of the study of airs, he explained his own experiments in an open and sincere style: "whatever he knows or thinks he tells: doubts, perplexities, blunders are set down with the most refreshing candour." He also invented and described cheap and easy-to-assemble experimental apparatus. His colleagues therefore believed that they could easily repro-duce Priestley's experiments to verify them or to answer the questions that had puzzled him."--Wikipedia on Priestly.

First Edition
First edition. Tall 8vo., cont. calf spine, marble boards, xliv (2), 428, (4)pp.ads. Bookplate, marble paper mostly missing exposing the paper boards, spine chipped, a good copy. Joseph Priestley [1733 1804] was an 18th-century English theologian, Dissenting clergyman, natural philosopher, chemist, educator, and Liberal political theorist who published over 150 works. He is usually credited with the discovery of oxygen, having isolated it in its gaseous state. Priestley's science was integral to his theology, and he consistently tried to fuse Enlightenment rationalism with Christian theism.[5] In his metaphysical texts, Priestley attempted to combine theism, materialism, and determinism, a project that has been called "audacious and original".[6] He believed that a proper understanding of the natural world would promote human progress and eventually bring about the Christian Millennium.[6] Priestley, who strongly believed in the free and open exchange of ideas, advocated toleration and equal rights for religious Dissenters, which also led him to help found Unitarianism in England. The controversial nature of Priestley's publications combined with his outspoken support of the French Revolution aroused public and governmental suspicion; he was eventually forced to flee, in 1791, first to London, and then to the United States, after a mob burned down his home and church. He spent the last ten years of his life living in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.Priestley wrote his most important philosophical works during his years with Lord Shelburne. In a series of major metaphysical texts published between 1774 and 1780An Examination of Dr. Reid's Inquiry into the Human Mind (1774), Hartley's Theory of the Human Mind on the Principle of the Association of Ideas (1775), Disquisitions relating to Matter and Spirit (1777), The Doctrine of Philosophical Necessity Illustrated (1777), and Letters to a Philosophical Unbeliever (1780)he argues for a philosophy that incorporates four concepts: determinism, materialism, causation, and necessitarianism. By studying the natural world, he argued, people would learn how to become more compassionate, happy, and prosperous.

PRIESTLEY, Joseph. Discourses Relating to the Evidences of Revealed Religion, Delivered in the Church of the Universalists, at Philadelphia, 1796. And Published at the Request of Many of the Hearers. Phila.: Printed for T. Dobson, by John Thompson, 1796. 1st ed. xx, [2], 426 pp. Orig. full speckled calf, gilt-ruled spine, gilt-lettered red morocco spine label. Light toning and foxing, some pencil marginalia, else a very good copy. Though best remembered today as a scientist and educatior, Priestly wrote many volumes on Unitarian theology. This work is dedicated "To John Adams, Vice-President of the United States of America." "Priestley's versatilty and his peculiar qualities of mind were more clearly manifested in his theological and political writings than in his science. Brought up as a Calvinist, he early became allied with liberal theology . By the time he went to Warrington his Unitarian ('Socinian') beliefs were well developed, i.e., he rejected the Atonement and the inspiration of the sacred text. In 1755 he put forward the doctrine of the homogeneity of man, which brought upon him the accusation of atheism." DAB.

First Edition
First and only edition, 18mo in sixes, 96 leaves, [â]2 a-c6 d2 B-N6 O2; later half brown morocco over marbled boards, bound by George A. Zabriskie with his armorial bookplate on upper pastedown, gilt decorated spine in five compartments, gilt-decorated dentelles, marbled endpapers; boards rubbed and bumped, title page chipped, losing the "V" in vocabulary, with contemporary inscription, moderate foxing, good and sound. A dictionary in the "hard words" tradition, omitting "the common words of the language," and designed for the use of "young ladies, and gentlemen, too, who have not had the advantage of a liberal or learned education" (Preface). Halkett & Laing, Kennedy, and Alston attribute the work to Baskerville himself - an attribution of which I've always been dubious. In the noted dictionary collector Tom Rodger's copy of Alston, he attributes it to Joseph Priestley. George A. Zabriskie was an antiquarian of many talents, and in addition to being a successful businessman, collector, Grolier Club member, was a prolific and capable amateur binder. Many of the books in his library were bound by his own hand. Gaskell 31; Vancil, p. 245; Kennedy 6264; Alston V, 237.
