Quotation: Joseph Priestly

"We were united by a commonlove of science, which we thought sufficient to bring together people of all distinctions, Christians, Jews, Mohametans, and Heathens, Monarchists and Republicans."
Joseph Priestly, Experiments on the Generation of Air from Water
Quoted in The Lunar Men by Jenny Uglow

Priestly apparently did not know the current Republican administration!
