There appears to be a discrepancy between this article (which says it was the origin of the Christmas lectures), and lectures for young people, which states Faraday's first lecture was 1827, 2 years after the series started. Chris2crawford (talk) 21:11, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • Also that article says these lectures were given in 1848. While it's entirely possible that Faraday had given these lectures before, perhaps many times, no evidence has been given the assertion that they are the origin of the Christmas Lectures. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 07:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

First rating of this article: Clearly a stub. The Chemical History of a Candle is an important work in the history of science and the history of chemistry, and should be given a "high" priority for people interested in these fields. --lquilter 20:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
