Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) - practising scientist, materialist philosopher and Unitarian theologian - was one of the giants of the Enlightenment. These two volumes present Priestley's unfinished autobiography and his correspondence, edited by J.T. Rutt. Many of these letters are addressed to Priestley's fellow-Unitarians, Theophilus Lindsey and Thomas Belsham, but they are by no means confined to religious topics. Rutt knew Priestley personally, and his many annotations seek to make these volumes particularly useful for students of the period. An index of names and a chronological list of Priestley's works are included.
