We were not aware that there existed in the midst of our own Country, and in the present day, a spirit of fanaticism, so base, so wicked & so bloody, as to brake forth into a frenzy of unprovoked violence, not only against the most respectable characters, but against knowledge & science themselves.
James Currie (1756-1805) Scottish physician, biographer
Letter (1791-07) to Joseph Priestley for the Liverpool Dissenters (draft)More about this quote: wist.info/currie-james/80394/

#Chemistry pioneer #JosephPriestley co-discovered #oxygen and was a supporter of both the #American and #French #Revolution. He was also a ‘dissenter’ of any enforced state #religion , and for this he was hounded out of #England and settled in #Pennsylvania. The highest honor given by the #American Chemical Society is its Priestley Medal. 🏅
@Wikipedia is giving him some attention today! 🙏 👀 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Priestley
