Admired after his death by the likes of Lord Rayleigh and Einstein, Thomas Young (1773–1829) made contributions to such fields as physics, biology, music and linguistics, and he has often been called 'the last man who knew everything'. Published in 1855, this is an engaging and affectionate biography of this extraordinary polymath.
