A New System Of Meteorology Designed For Schools And Private Students Vol 1

Excerpt from A New System of Meteorology, Designed for Schools and Private Students, Vol. 1: Descriptive and Explanatory of All the Facts, and Demonstrative of All the Causes and Laws of Atmospheric Phenomena The fearful nature and awful grandeur of clouds, rain, hail, snow, whirlwinds, tornadoes, thunder and lightning, forcibly im pressed me from my earliest childhood. Before attaining the age of four years, I inquired for their cause. My parents resolved these phenomena into the Ultimate Cause, God. Accepting this solution, I wished to know how he did it, and why he did it? Not receiving satisfactory answers to these questions, they became life problems to me. They had, and ever will have, such a fasci nation for me as to engross my entire attention when I am in their presence. While a lad of tender years, no cloud appeared above the hori zon without my scrutiny as to its aspects, and noting the changes in its form and color. After night, no thunder cloud loomed up in the sky without my watching, while in sight, the play of the lightning in its folds, and studying its structure in its strata and convolutions.
