In 1857, William Stanley Jevons was 22 years old and was working as an assayer for the Sidney Mint.
Two eclipses passed over Australia that year, and Jevons enthusiastically tracked both.
I think it’s interesting nonetheless, because Jevons went on to become one of the most important economists of his century.
Your first glass of orange juice tastes great, the second less so, and the third you pour down the drain.
So don’t buy that third glass of orange juice.
