First published anonymously in 1805, this book made complex ideas accessible to a non-technical readership and is credited with having influenced the young Michael Faraday. It also provides valuable insights into the gendered world of nineteenth-century education. Volume 1 covers topics including heat, light, gases, metals and carbon.
