"Heads of Lectures on a Course of Experimental Philosophy" by Joseph Priestley is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. The text presents a thorough educational guide on the principles of experimental philosophy, particularly focusing on chemistry and natural science. It serves as a compendium for students at the New College in Hackney, aiming to illuminate the key discoveries and methodologies in understanding natural substances and their properties through experimentation. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the role and goals of experimental philosophy, emphasizing the importance of knowledge through observation and experimentation. Priestley introduces fundamental topics such as the properties of matter, the methods of scientific inquiry, and the interactions between various elements, including air and its components. His lectures are geared toward ensuring that students grasp the overarching concepts of natural philosophy while providing them with the foundational knowledge necessary for further scientific exploration. Additionally, the text addresses the significance of independent thought and the ethical responsibilities of students in their future endeavors, establishing a moral framework alongside scientific inquiry.
