Excerpt from The Shepherd of Banburys Rules to Judge of the Changes of the Weather, Grounded on Forty Years' Experience: By Which You May Know the Weather for Several Days to Come, and in Some Cases for Months; To Which Is Added a Rational Account of the Causes of Such Alternations, the Nature of Wild, Rain, Snow, &C But still a few slight and trmal Observa tions. Of this Kind, ' and such as are' in the 'poweryof every Man to make, go but a very little Way in furnishing us with a nsefnl Knowledge of the Indications of the Wea *t41er. To supply these, and to have con stantly at Hand the Means of judging of these alterations, me1f of great Genius have invented, and wonderful Inventions they are! Instruments for measuring the Heat, the Cold, the Weight, the Dryness, and the Hu midity of the Air, With 'great Exactness, and upon these they reason as to the changes of 'weather with great Accuracy anti Certainty. It would undoubtedly be a great Foily to pretend to question either the Truth of their Observations, or the Usefulness of them: but then we may have leave to consider how far.
