MAN is by nature and habit a meteorologist. In our changeable climate, the very forms of ordinary salutation are borrowed from the weather, and the topic of conversation which meets a willing attention, and adapts itself to every capacity, is the nature and character of the season. We thus, almost without exception, take the first steps in the inductive process by which the science of meteorology is to be created, but are generally satisfied when we have observed the more obvious phenomena, or have compared them with those of former days, which are yet present in our recollection. Much, therefore, remains to be done, before the appearances can be reduced to any general laws, and far more before we can proceed to investigate the natural causes to which they are owing.

Observations which can be applied to the purpose of founding a theory of meteorological phenomena, require to be pursued with regularity and patience, and demand that instruments be brought to the aid of the senses. The inquirer must be furnished with the thermometer, to indicate the temperature of the air; the barometer, to measure its pressure; the hygrometer, to ascertain its relations to aqueous vapor; the rain-gauge, and various other apparatus, which the progress of science has brought into use for general or specific purposes. When the indications of these instruments have been carefully read and faithfully registered, the task is only commenced. The records require to be collated with those of other places, by the comparison of contemporaneous occurrences, or of the mean of long continued registers. It is therefore not to be wondered, that the science of meteorology is still in its infancy. The thermometer in an efficient form
