Michael Faraday's celebrated series of lectures,The Chemical History of a Candle,        turned into one of the most successful science books ever published and was a        classic work of Victorian popular science. They also reflect how Faraday, the        bookbinder's apprentice turned scientist, was a remarkable communicator of        science.First published in 1861 they have remained continuously in print ever since.          Covering a wide range of basic scientific knowledge, much of which still has        relevance today, The Chemical History of a Candle draws out the science behind the        candle flame; a familiar yet complex example of combustion, and a source of        fascination as much today as it was then.Timed to mark the 150th anniversary of the        first publication, Frank James presents a new edition of the lectures, which, for        the first time, includes a facsimile of Faraday's original handwritten lecture        notes, never before published. Including an introduction from Frank James this new        edition provides the historical context and background to his lectures, and to        Faraday himself.
