Joseph Priestly is most famous for having discovered oxygen. He also discovered other gasses and invented Carbonated Beverages (soda water) and the pencil eraser.
A Unitarian minister, his books "History of the Corruptions of Christianity" and "Jesus and Socrates Compared" had a great impact on the religious views of Thomas Jefferson, with whom he corresponded until his death in 1804. The Unitarian movement was at the time a Christian movement that viewed Jesus as human and denied the Trinity

After returning to Britain in January 1775, he continued his experiments and discovered "vitriolic acid air."
