Sobre este artículo
London: S. Hooper, 1773 The Second edition 'improved.' Hardcover book . Original grey paper-covered boards with vellum spine and corners, bearing no lettering. Red speckled edges. Pagination: Title; dedicatory page to the Reverend George Tilson; preface xv; 127pp; index viii. The main text consists of an introduction, and sections on kinds of weather, prognostics from various natural phenomena; weather tables kept at Southwick near Oundle, Northants, 1729-39, and an appendix of observations made at Berne, 1766. The boards are fair only but the contents very good. Vellum is grubby, browned and spotted; various tears to grey paper over boards. Text block is well held, with most page faces clean; some light spotting and browning to title, endpapers, and a few margins. Neat name and early date to flyleaf. Good overall.
