Description
Excerpt from A Popular Treatise on the Winds: Comprising the General Motions of the Atmosphere, Monsoons, Cyclones, Tornadoes, Waterspouts, Hail-Storms, Etc
A thorough knowledge of the principles contained in the following work, it is thought, will be of great advantage to all who are desirous of understanding the observed phenomena and sequences of the weather, and of forming rules for weather prediction, and especially to the seaman on the ocean in the management of his vessel. For although no attempt has been made to lay down detailed rules to be followed in the various cases, yet the principles are given and explained by which each one with a knowledge of them can intelligently form his own rule in any case, which is generally much better than to blindly follow rules which can rarely be given so as to cover all cases without exceptions.
