Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) was born at Fieldhead, Yorkshire, on 13 March 1733. He was educated at Batley Grammar School and at Heckmondwike, before entering Daventry Academy in 1751 to study for the presbyterian ministry. He became Minister at Nantwich, Cheshire, in 1758, and in 1761 was appointed Tutor in Languages and Belles-Lettres at Warrington Academy. He became Minister at Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds, in 1767. Between 1772 and 1780 Priestley was the Librarian of the Earl of Shelburne. Thereafter, he was elected Junior Minister of the New Meeting, Birmingham, in 1780, and became the Morning Preacher at Gravel Pit, Hackney, in 1791.
