Excerpt from On the Modifications of Clouds
Der vom Verfasser nur in kleiner Au?age besorgte Sonderabdruck'') vom Jahre 1803, mit den drei Tafeln typischer Wolkenbilder, ist selbst in England ausserordentlich selten und auf dem Kontinent fast gar nicht anzutrefien. Es schien mir daher passend, einen Neudruck dieses grundlegenden Werk chens zu veranstalten, zumal das Studium der Wolken augenblicklich wieder im Vordergrunde meteorologischer F orschung steht.
