Excerpt from Priestleyana Gazing upon a silhouette doesn't give one much of an idea of the facial expression of the subject, nor does it let one peer into the eyes, drawing from them some expression of the soul; yet looking intently upon this silhouette, there gradually came to mind that Priestley, the younger, had married in England, his eldest son was born there, the other children in America. In 1810, he returned to England. His wife died near Dudley in 1815; and years thereafter the widower married a widowed daughter of Dr. Toulmin. The younger Joseph Priestley died in 1833 at Exeter, England. Another document which fell out from among the books was the last Will and Testament of Priestley, the elder.
