The Chemical History of a Candle

Countless later reprints -- Routledge, Chatto & Windus, and 20th-century school and juvenile editions -- shorten the book's original full title, A Course of Six Lectures on the Chemical History of a Candle: To Which Is Added a Lecture on Platinum, to simply The Chemical History of a Candle, and reset the type; only the 1861 Griffin, Bohn (or, for the first American printing, Harper & Brothers) imprint under the original full title is first-edition material.
