Excerpt from The Law of Storms: The True Principle of the Law of Storms, Practically Arranged for Both Hemispheres
My Treatise on the Law of Storms has now reached a fifth edition; and so great a success on the part of my little work seems to call for a few remarks from me.
For more than fourteen years the theory of the Law of Storms, as a theory, was favourably received by intelligent nautical men; but, in the course of their practical experience, they discovered that, by assuming a given track in certain latitudes for the progressive motion of the entire meteor, they frequently became involved in a dangerous centre. It was this consideration, stimulated by circumstances which I have mentioned in the introduction to the First Edition.

In each section, the author provides a general description of the Law of Storms, followed by specific instructions on how to avoid the vortex of a storm.
