Description:Excerpt from A Treatise on Meteorology: With a Collection of Meteorological Tables Within the past forty years a vast amount of meteorological observations has been accumulated from almost every part of the world, and particularly from the United States. Within the limits of our own country we have observations, more or less extensive, from more than a thousand stations, and some of these registers are very accurate and complete. So great an amount of labor expended upon observations ought certainly to lead to some valuable results. Such results have already been in part I attained, but they are generally published in very large works, or in elaborate memoirs whose object is limited to the discussion of special questions. Many of these memoirs are only to be found in foreign languages, and nearly all of them are too elaborate to circulate freely even among the mass of tolerably intelligent observers. It will probably be conceded that there has not hitherto appeared, at least in the English language, any general treatise on Meteorology which furnishes a comprehensive view of the present condition of every branch of this science with a minuteness sufficient to satisfy one who is himself engaged in the business of observing. In the present volume an attempt has been made to furnish a concise exposition of the principles of Meteorology in a form adapted to use as a text-book for instruction, and at the same time to exhibit the most important results of recent researches. That this attempt has been but partially successful no one can be more fully aware than the author; nevertheless it is hoped that this volume will compare favorably with any work which has hitherto appeared having the same objects in view. This treatise has been in contemplation for many years, during which I have been collecting materials for this purpose.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
