Excerpt from Weather: A Popular Exposition of the Nature of Weather Changes From Day to Day
The object of this work is the same as that of other volumes of the International Scientific Series, to which it belongs - viz. To place before the general reader a short but clear picture of the modern aspects of the science of which it treats.
With this view, the more elementary parts of the subject - weather science - have been treated of in the first three chapters of the book, while the more difficult questions are reserved for the later portion of the work. Though this method of treatment involves a certain amount of repetition, the author hopes that the work may thus prove acceptable to a large number of readers who would have been deterred from the perusal of a more formal treatise.
