Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meteorology an Introductory Treatise There are many classes of the community to whom the weather conditions are of the utmost importance. The aviator, the farmer, the sailor, and even the holiday-maker are all interested in the state of the weather, though in very different ways. The study of the weather from one man's point of view is therefore a very different thing to a study of it from another's point of view. But though the subject may be developed along different lines by different sections of the community, yet the principles underlying it axe in all cases the same. The present book has been written with the view of indicating these principles, putting them in their simplest form, and avoiding, as far as possible, the use of mathematical language. In this way the student who has only an elementary training in mathematics will be able to follow the reasoning. Also, as the book is intended to serve as an elementary textbook, I have endeavoured to avoid developing any one part at the expense of another. Any chapter might quite easily be expanded into a book in itself, but in so doing the object for which the book is written would be lost sight of. Meteorology, like many other sciences, is developing very rapidly at the present day, and in a book of this type it is impossible to embody all the latest developments. The discovery of the conditions within the upper atmosphei'e or stratosphere has influenced the development of modern meteorology to a very great extent. Throughout the book, therefore, the stratosphere and its influence have been kept before the reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handy Book Meteorology The object which the author of this treatise has kept steadily in view has been to set the subject of Meteor ology before the general mind in such a way as shall engage on its behalf a widespread interest, to which, from its intimate connection with our welfare and hap piness, it is in every way entitled. Frequent occasion is taken to point out the bearings of the science on the practical affairs of life. The information is brought down to the present time, thus rendering it a handy book of reference on subjects connected with weather and climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Meteorological Instruments: Explanatory of Their Scientific Principles, Method of Construction, and Practical Utility The national utilisation of Meteorology in forewarning of storms, and the increasing employment of instruments as weather indicators, render a knowledge of their construction, principles, and practical uses necessary to every well-informed person. Immessed with the idea that we shall be supplying an existing want, and aiding materially the cause of Meteorological Science, in giving a plain description of the various instruments now in use, we have endeavoured, in the present volume, to condense such information as is generally required regarding the instruments used in Meteorology; the description of many of which could only be found in elaborate scientific works, and then only brie y touched upon. Every Meteor ological Instrument now in use being fully described, with adequate directions for using, the uninitiated will be enabled to select those which seem to them best adapted to their requirements. With accounts of old or obsolete instruments we have avoided troubling the reader on the other hand, we were unwilling to neglect those which, though of no great practical importance, are still deserving of notice from their being either novel or ingenious, or which, without being strictly scientific, are in great demand as simple weather-glasses and articles of trade. We trust, therefore, that the work (however imperfect), bearing in mind the importance of the subject, will be acceptable to general readers, as well as to those for whose requirements it has been prepared. The rapid progress made in the introduction of new apparatus of acknowledged superiority has rendered the publication of some description absolutely necessary.

Some of the better books on meteorology were fast becoming obsolete, as must always be the case with text-books that treat of a rapidly progressing scien'ce; while others, like Hann's masterly work, were, and still are, confined to the foreign languages in which they originally appeared. An urgent necessity, therefore, for a book that would bring the essentials of meteorology Up to date, in an available form, was the incentive that led to the preparation of the present work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Course of Meteorology I have been no less powerfully assisted by my friend M. Léon lalanne, Civil Engineer. He has given a graphic representation of forty -two numerical tables out of a hundred and thirteen, according to the common system of two rectangular co-ordinates, and according to another system of three co-ordi nates, the use of which he was the first to generalise, and the principles of which are explained in the Appendix. These graphic representations are an immense service rendered to meteorology; for they possess the threefold advantage, - of setting before the eye numerical results, - of representing the laws of which they are the expression, - and of shewing, by the irregularity of certain curves, which are they that do not represent natural laws, and that demand a greater number of observations.
