Joseph Priestley's Life
I do not celebrate any birthday or death day. However, I have a habit that read the birth date and date of birth of famous people in the diary.
And sometimes I find that on the day of his birthday or the day of death, he read his biography. Read this in a way.
Do not read every day, but sometimes read. And the day when someone's birthday is not in the bedroom. On that day I read the biographies of people born on an unknown date. I have read many biographies of Imam Bukhari so far. Likewise, many of the scientists have read the biography of many.
Today is February 6th. My diary says today's death of Joseph Priestley
Can you recognize that? Oxygen Detector
Joseph Priestley
Birth: March 13, 1733
Birth place: Britain (England or United Kingdom).
Birth identity: He is in Leeds City, England
Born in a poor house in the suburbs. When he was only three years old, his mother died. And his father died at the age of seven years.
Of course, the birth-orphan was Priestley. After that, the orphanage was responsible for the care of the baby and on his puff. He was also poor. Still, he started putting his brother's son behind with him. In 1740, he took refuge in his paternal home.
His puff was good, he sent his brother's son to study at the local Norfolk Academy.
His puffy desire was that he would be a pristie priest. Because at that time the priests had a lot of social status.
Early schooling:
He was a very good student. Within a short time he learned English, French, Italian, Arabic and German.
At that time he began to learn mathematics. He was particularly interested in algebra and geometry.
Taking the position of priest;
After that he took the post of Honor (Graduate) and took the position of the priest. But there was no such salary even though there was social status in this position. It did not work with the wages it got. So he started teaching and private tuition to get the job done.
His contribution:
Write english grammar;
While engaged with education, he wrote good English grammar due to his interest in English grammar. There was a lot of error in the grammar that was taught. The book was very popular. His name was also called around. This resulted in his good job. He got a job of a language teacher at the Dissentors Academy.
Scientific research begins:
At first he joined as a teacher of the language, but later he joined chemistry. Then his interest in chemistry increased and he started scientific experiments.
Research on electrology:
He came to see the famous scientist Benjamin Franklin in London. Scientist Franklin advised him to write books on electrology.
He started to write books because he did not have any research on this subject. There was no reference book on this topic. While researching these, we discovered that carbon is a lightning-powered material.
His book on this subject was completed in 1765. His book is "The history of the electorate and its current state"
The book has earned a great reputation. His name spread all around. Then he was only 32 years old.
The year after the publication of this book, he was nominated as a member of the Chemistry Society. At that time, his former priest was held.
