Abstract
IT is an arduous undertaking to establish and work a system which shall give us a perfectly full, trustworthy, and continuous account of the meteorology of even so small a part of the globe as the British Isles. The Meteorological Committee of the Royal Society are therefore deserving of credit in the systematic effort which they have made to establish the weather records of these isles upon a scientific foundation. Nor must we forget that our Government has been very liberal in this matter, and that a grant of 10,000/. a year devoted to meteorology represents a very handsome contribution from that national purse which is, alas ! so often shut when it ought to be open, and so often open when it ought to be shut.
