'On the Heat of Vapours' and 'On Astronomical Refractions' presents the scientific inquiries of John William Lubbock into thermodynamics and astronomy. This volume offers insights into the properties of vapours and their behaviour under varying conditions. Complementing this study is Lubbock’s examination of astronomical refractions, addressing the bending of light as it passes through the atmosphere. These essays provide a glimpse into 19th-century scientific methodology and mathematical approaches to complex natural phenomena.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
