Riassunto

A Plea For Pure Science: Being The Inaugural Lecture At The Opening Of The Faculty Of Science In University College, London (1870) is a book written by Alexander William Williamson. The book is a transcript of the inaugural lecture given by Williamson at the opening of the Faculty of Science in University College, London in 1870. In the lecture, Williamson makes a plea for pure science, arguing that it is important for its own sake and not just for its practical applications. He discusses the importance of scientific research and the need for universities to support it. The book is a significant historical document, as it provides insight into the attitudes towards science and education in the Victorian era. It is also a valuable resource for those interested in the history of science and the development of scientific education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
