Abstract
THIS book belongs to a series of small volumes intended to form introductions to the subjects of which they treat. Into its 120 pages Messrs. Fowler and Marriott have compressed a great deal of useful information. After a brief introductory chapter explaining why a popular book about weather is a practical necessity, they discuss in turn pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, and allied phenomena. They then deal with weather-forecasting, the upper air, and phenological observations, and conclude with a chapter on proverbs and rhymes.
