A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Secretary of the Smithsonian I nstitution. Sir, In compliance with your instructions, I have prepared the collection of Meteorological Tables contained in the following pages. I have endeavored to render it useful, not only to the observers engaged in the system of Meteorological Observations now in operation tinder the direction of the Smithsonian I nstitution, for whom it was immediately designed, but also to any Meteorologist who may desire to compare and to work out portions of the vast amount of Meteorological Observations already accumulated in the stores of science. The reduction of the observations and the extensive comparisons, without which Meteorology can do but little, require an amount of mechanical labor which renders it impossible for most observers to deduce for themselves the results of their own observations. The difficulty is still further increased by the diversity of the thermometrical and barometrical scales which Meteorologists, faithful to old habits rather than to science and to reason, choose to retain, notwithstanding the additional labor they thus gratuitously assume to themselves. To relieve the Meteorologist of a great portion of this labor, by means of tables sufficiently extensive to render calculations and even interpolations unnecessary, is to save his time and his forces in favor of science itself, and thus materially contribute to its advancement.
