Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
But even these exceptions to the rule enhance the interest we attach to the study of that universal theme, The Weather, which emanates from them, and in which all classes of society find a topic of daily consideration, more or less important as it enters into the business of life, affecting their pursuits in raising food for subsistence, or the enjoyment of health and comfort. Hence the vicissitudes of the seasons from day to day are matters of universal interest and remark from the peer to the peasant, and almost everybody professes to have some special opinion regarding their effects upon vegetation and animal existence. Yet it will be found, by any one who takes the trouble to inquire, that few people, even educated persons, are cognisant of the immediate cause from whence the seasons spring. Perhaps this arises from the technical and abstruse method used by astronomers in describing the inclination of the earths axis, its diurnal revolution, annual rotation, and attendant phenomena, Phenomena of great interest to the inhabitants of the earth phenomena which have their source in the double movement of our planet. From one day to another the inhabitants of the same place let us rather say the inhabitants of the same latitude see the sun ascend above the horizon to variable heights.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
