Priestleys apparatus for investigating gases
Priestleys apparatus. Diagram after an engraving showing various pieces of experimental apparatus used by Joseph Priestley (1733-1804). Most of these are troughs and bell jars with which he would isolate and store gases. Some jars would contain plants or mice to see what effect each gas had upon them. Famous for the discovery of oxygen, Priestleys work is contained in the three-volume Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air published in London, 1774-7

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Priestley's groundbreaking apparatus for investigating gases. The diagram, based on an engraving, reveals a collection of experimental equipment meticulously arranged by the renowned chemist himself. Priestley's ingenious setup primarily consists of troughs and bell jars, which he skillfully employed to isolate and store various gases. What sets this apparatus apart is its unique inclusion of plants and mice within some of the jars. By subjecting these living organisms to different gases, Priestley aimed to observe their effects on them—a pioneering approach that revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and biology. Joseph Priestley is widely celebrated for his momentous discovery of oxygen, which propelled him into scientific stardom. His remarkable body of work can be found in the three-volume masterpiece titled "Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air" published in London between 1774-7. This historical photograph not only captures the essence of Priestley's revolutionary research but also serves as a testament to his significant contributions to the field of science. It stands as a reminder that even centuries later, his innovative experiments continue to inspire new generations in their pursuit of knowledge and advancement in chemical exploration.
