Excerpt from The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal, 1833, Vol. 39: Exhibiting a Concise View of the Latest and Most Important Discoveries in Medicine, Surgery, and Pharmacy In each of my former journals for the Hussar, I have given an annual return of the sick, a similar statement of the weather, temperature, See. Where we had served. I now give a general return for the whole time from my joining the Hussar in March 1827, to her being paid off in July 1830, with tables of weather and temperature of the two principal points of the station, the one, Bermuda, for many months of the year at least, a place of extreme heat, and the other, Halifax, of an equal extreme of cold. These tables were compiled for Halifax from the re gisters kept at the garrison library, for the four years 1826-27 - 28, and 29, the correctness of which I always verified, when at Ha lifax, by my own observation, and for Bermuda, from my own register, during the months of the year I was annually there, from Mr J ohnston's, (which I knew to be correctly kept, ) for months that he was there, in the Champion, when I was absent, and the remainder from the mean of five yeara' registers of the military hos ital at St George's.
