Faraday's detailed examination of the candle, its composition, and the physical nature of its flames, is published here complete with the original illustrations and explanatory tables.
Although involved in developing several of the cutting-edge advances in thermodynamics in the era, Michael Faraday recognized that the essential principles of physics underpinned earlier innovations. This book outlines the three essential ingredients for fire; a supply of oxygen, a supply of fuel, and heat. The fundamental design of the candle, with its slow-melting wax and wick, is detailed.
As well as being a great scientist in his own right, Faraday was recognized as a lecturer capable of explaining with clarity principles which his contemporaries struggled to present to the general population. It can be argued that Michael Faraday was among the first of the 'popular scientists' capable of presenting science in a manner interesting and stimulating it is in this spirit that he published this book.
This edition of The Chemical History of a Candle contains more than forty original, essential illustrations and tables. Many of these demonstrate and clarify the points Faraday makes, thereby offering the reader a greater degree of comprehension above and beyond Faraday concise written explanations.
The Chemical History of a Candle Illustrated Michael Faraday
Faraday's book is indeed classic of the first order. He gives a clear understanding of how a simple candle gives way to some complex physics and chemistry as the candle burns.This publication of it however, leaves much to be desired.
Tiny font, and missing illustrations are the two top problems.
I'm sorry I wasted my money for this cheap knock off of Faraday's classic work.

The Chemical History of a Candle Illustrated Michael Faraday Reviews
The illustrations of the book do not correspond to what is indicated in the text!
This is a wonderful book for all ages. Love the nature of this book and very well-written by one of the greatest scientists in the history. Highly recommended!
The best description of a candle-flame and what it really is anyone will ever read. Faraday was a hands-on science explorer. This book proves it.
One is often asked how a candle burns. This classic was published in the middle of the 19th century. It is amazing to learn how much was known then and continues to be true today. It is a wonderful refresher course for those who had high school chemistry and want to follow the logic today.
The sequence of lectures stepped through the fundamental operating principles of a candle. Very informative.
Nailed it!
This is a book printed with care and great aesthetic sense. The text is easy to understand (I swear to you, it is interesting). It convinced me that Faraday was a very good teacher, not just a great inventor and chemist. And if you read between the lines, you will see that he had a beautiful soul.
This is a great gift for any student or any curious adult.
