Previous | Home | NextPriestley's accomplishments at Warrington were profound during his stay there 1761-1767. He taught Greek, Latin, French, English, history, logic, and (showing his versatility) anatomy! Gleaning from his extensive readings, he wrote A Chart of Biography, a graphical time-line delineating the achievements of mankind during the period 1200 B.C.-1800 A.D. He advertised effectively and the Chart was popular and sold well. He became ordained at Warrington, and he married Mary Wilkinson. The University of Edinburgh, recognizing the merits of Priestley, conferred on him a degree of Doctor of Laws, LL.D. (1764).
