THE CHEMICAL HISTORY OF A CANDLE

by Michael Faraday ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 15, 1957

This special edition of the lectures Faraday delivered at the Royal Institute in London in 1860 makes a choice book for anyone who is beginning to be interested in chemistry. Far too little of the writings of 18th and 19th century scientists is made available or even presented to high school students and these, by a master mind who could also write simply and clearly, are valuable not only historically but because they explain a great deal about basic chemical laws.
