JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post
I was working my way through an edition of Nature for 1884 (23 October, page 606) when I found a review of F.W. Cory’s How to Foretell the Weather with the Pocket Spectroscope (1884). The title was enough, and the review even more so–I knew this was an obscure work, but not so much anymore, as the entire book is located online! Sometimes I get used to the sci-fi aspect of the intertubes, but when I make discoveries like this I am reminded all over again how magnificent all of this is.
