Treacher, Brighton, as printed on the verso of the front free end paper.This was Mary Somerville's last book, published at nearly 90 years of age, which reflects roughly a decade of research about microscopy, atomic, and molecular theory. Somerville (1780-1872, Scottish) was self-taught and a true pioneer woman of science; the term "scientist" was coined in reference to Somerville in 1834 (previously referred to as "men of science"). Volume 1 includes a printed statement from Somerville, thanking "Sir John Herschel, Mr. Huggins, Mr. Gwyn Jeffrey, Prof. Tyndall, and Mr. T. Moore" for their support in her career as a scientist. Somerville was recognized as one of the first two female Honorary Members of the Royal Astronomical Society (in 1835), testament to her influence in the field of science. She was well known for her ability to effectively synthesize complex scientific concepts; this is her capstone book. This is a prize book presented by headmaster Rev. Dr. John Griffith in the year of the book's publication, 1869 (from book plate in vol. 1: "Prize for Mathematics / Upper Fifth Form / Boyd / June 1869 / John Griffith").
