This is a rare 1923 Odessa edition of Michael Faraday’s classic popular science lecture “The Chemical History of a Candle” — one of the most famous works in the history of scientific popularization. First delivered as Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in 1848–1849, the text explains fundamental principles of chemistry and physics through the seemingly simple process of a burning candle: combustion, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, capillary action, convection, and more. The book includes Faraday’s original engaging explanations, accessible to all ages, and is supplemented in this edition with a portrait of Faraday and a concise biography.
