JOSEPH PRIESTLEY CORRESPONDENCE located in USA - including letter to THOMAS WEDGWOOD
Many Wedgwoodians the world over research a plethora of interesting Wedgwood-related topics. I have been able to research a number of topics over the years using the files held in American universities, but was surprised to learn of some of the holdings of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. If one looks at their finding aid, one will find a great deal of information about Dickinson alums, but the Priestley family papers were not something I'd have expected to find at Dickinson! Check out this link to review how much is there. The specific Thomas Wedgwood letter is located here. In a quick review of the site, I see several things that might be of interest to a researcher of Joseph Priestley and his connection to Josiah Wedgwood, FRS. They were scientists in an age of true science, their correspondence very enlightening. I hope this connection will lead to the use of this information on the part of a researcher looking into this, yet another, Wedgwood related find.
