A review by ann941sf
A Chemical History of a Candle by Michael Faraday

4.0

“Indeed, all I can say to you at the end of these lectures (for we must come to an end at one time or other) is to express a wish that you may, in your generation, be fit to compare to a candle; that you may, like it, shine as lights to those about you; that, in all your actions, you may justify the beauty of the taper by making your deeds honourable and effectual in the discharge of your duty to your fellow men.”

An absorbing read, but the Kindle version would have been much better with the illustrations.
