The Science of James Smithson "A quirky, oddly touching book that allows us to step, for a few moments, inside the world of a practicing Enlightenment scientist, to sit beside him as he fans the flames of a candle with his little blowpipe, waiting for that small mineral in front of him to melt and yield its secrets." —Wall Street Journal An accessible exploration of the noteworthy scientific career of James Smithson, who left his fortune to establish the Smithsonian Institution.
