Abstract
IN style and scope, Dr. Phipson's book reminds us of essays submitted to the Smithsonian Institution for the Hodgkins Fund Prize, and afterwards published in the Smithsonian Report. A more or less popular description is given of the atmosphere in its various relationships to man, and in its meteorological aspects; while in many places short statements are made of observations and investigations carried out by the author himself. The book should thus prove of interest to general readers as well as to meteorologists and other students of science.
