Excerpt from A Treatise on the Causes and Principles of Meteorological Phenomena: Also, Two Essays; The One on Marsh Fevers; The Other on the System of Equality, Proposed by Mr. Owen of New Lanark, for Ameliorating the Condition of Mankind Among all the Sciences, there is none which so frequently, or so generally obtrudes itself upon the attention of mankind, or is so often the subject of conversation, as that of which we are about to treat. But though this be the case, there is no science which presents such a list of familiar phenomena, that have hitherto defied all attempts at explanation. In the following Treatise, a variety of new views and explanations of meteorological phenomena are advanced; and it is principally on account of these, that this volume is printed. Besides the Treatise on the Causes and Principles of Meteorological Phenomena, two Essays are likewise published.
