This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1812. Excerpt: ... WEATHER GUIDE, 8fc. PART I. OBSERVATIONS, BY WHICH TO JUDGE OF THE CHANGES OF THE WEATHER, DEDUCED FROM THE APPEARANCES OF NATURE. SECTION I. CHANGES OF WEATHER, INDICATED BY VEGETABLES.
