Excerpt from Meteorology Practical and Applied
I have been able to bring no small practical experience of meteor ology to bear in the writing of the pages which follow.
The work is divided into four parts. A brief introduction is succeeded by a full account of the methods which are employed in practical meteorology. The third part treats of climate and weather - necessarily in a somewhat condensed and concise manner. Finally, I have endeavoured to point out, in the fourth and concluding portion of the book, a few of the practical bearings of the subject. In those closing chapters the grave question of the influence of weather and season upon disease is in some measure discussed.
The time seems opportune for the publication of a popular yet scientific Textbook of Meteorology. The marvellous advances of Preventive Medicine within recent years, the institution of a registrable qualification in Public Health or State Medicine in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the establishment of a new order of public servants drawn from the ranks of the medical profession - I allude to Medical Officers of Health - the vast development of international telegraphy in modern times, the hearty co-operation of the various national Weather Bureaux - all these things have done much within the last quarter of a century to raise Meteorology to the rank of a science, and have given a wonderful impetus to the continuous or the periodic study of the weather. The literature of the subject is therefore daily increasing, and volume after volume is being added to the list of standard works on Meteorology and Climatology.
