About this book
Born at Milverton in Somerset on 13 June 1773, the eldest of ten children of Quaker parents, Thomas Young is the subject of this short memoir of 1831. Hudson Gurney drew on Young's own brief notes and on a long friendship. It follows the boy who read fluently at two and taught himself, raised partly at Minehead by his maternal grandfather. Young was later known for work on light and on Egyptian hieroglyphs. A catalogue of his works and essays is added.
