| This
page attempts to record what is known about the history
of paper wicks. Please contact me if you know any of this
information is incorrect or if you have any other
information that should be added. Thank you. ********** Lamps with paper wicks are mentioned, in a rather derogatory context, in The Lady's Book (aka as Godey's Lady Book) of January 1832, in a story entitled 'Frank Finlay' by Miss Leslie of Philadelphia. Pompey was presumably a black slave or servant.
