Among many extraordinary inventions and discoveries were electricity and bifocals from Benjamin Franklin and the oil-burning lamp and chemical elements by Sir Humphry Davy. It was an age of brilliant and eccentric people, including Carolus Linnaeus, whose system of classification led him to identify the rhinoceros as a rodent, and combustion expert Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, who lost his head during the Reign of Terror.
