Has been looking at JH's treatise on meteorology, especially the part relating to the barometrical formula. It seems that JH missed JL's paper on refraction published in Transactions of the Astronomical Society, and is therefore not aware of the true nature of P. S. Laplace's atmosphere; comments on this.
