Summary/Abstract: Filip Stanislav Kodym (1811–1884) was one of the most well-known and influential figures of the 19th century in the field of agriculture, natural sciences and education. He continued the activities of the national revivalists by striving to improve the Czech language, focusing on expression in the natural sciences. Among other things, he has written several very successful popularization books on physics, chemistry, and health science. In our paperwe want to recall the personality of F. S. Kodym also because 210 years have passed since his birth this year.
