Summary "Priestley in America, 1794-1804" by Edgar Fahs Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and contributions of the prominent scientist Joseph Priestley during his time in America after fleeing persecution in England. It likely details his scientific achievements, interactions with notable figures of the time, and the personal challenges he faced while trying to continue his work in a new country." "The opening of the text introduces the motivation behind this exploration of Priestley's life in America, emphasizing his importance to the field of chemistry and his influence on younger American chemists during his exile. The author reflects on his admiration for Priestley and outlines the significant milestones of his life, including discoveries in chemistry like that of carbon monoxide and his various contributions to science and philosophy.
