A Course Of Six Lectures On The Chemical History Of A Candle: To Which Is Added A Lecture On Platinum is a book written by Michael Faraday and published in 1861. The book is a collection of six lectures given by Faraday on the chemical processes that occur during the burning of a candle. The lectures cover topics such as the composition of a candle, the nature of combustion, and the properties of the gases produced during burning. Faraday also discusses the role of oxygen and the chemical reactions that take place in the flame. In addition to the lectures on candles, the book also includes a lecture on platinum, which covers the properties and uses of this metal. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the chemistry behind the burning of a candle and the properties of platinum.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
