Synopsis
"The love of knowledge and of intellectual power is a faculty belonging to the human mind in every state of society; and it is one by which it is most justly characterized--one most worthy of being cultivated and extended.' So began the introductory lecture by Humphry Davy to all courses taught at the Royal Institution in 1805. Of those courses only Davy's geology lectures remain. His ten geology lectures are published here for the first time.
