Side 150 - Atlas,' &c. &c. — There is no work of the kind in this or any other language, known to me, which comes so near my ideal of perfection in a school-book, on the important subject of which it treats. In arrangement, style, selection of matter, clearness, and thorough accuracy of statement, it is without a rival ; and knowing, as I do, the vast amount of labour and research you bestowed on its production. I trust it will be so appreciated as to insure, by an extensive sale, a well-merited reward. G....

Side 4 - AM, when evaporation is most rapid, the vapour is accumulated or pent up in the lower stratum of the atmosphere, and being impeded in its ascent its elastic force is increased by the reaction, and the barometer consequently rises. When the air falls below the temperature of the dew-point, part of its moisture is deposited in dew, and since some time must elapse before the...
