Owing to the complexity and intricacy of the phenomena , and the manifold
influences by which they are modified and determined , it would be a task , even
supposing the data before us , beyond the compass of the human intellect to give

But in this country few even of the liberally educated classes are able to read
from a vernier ; they are ignorant of the use of the movable cistern of a barometer
; they have not the elementary knowledge to give an intelligible interpretation to

Hence cistern barometers require an addition to be made to the observed height
to give the true height . 34 . The other error is technically called the error of
capacity , and arises in this way : The height of the barometer is the distance
between ...

This is not only a clumsy method , but , as it involves some computation , it would
give rise to frequent mistakes . The error is the less the more the surface of the
cistern exceeds that of the column in the tube , because the fall or rise in the tube

It would be out of place here to give the more exact formulæ for determining
heights by means of barometric observations , since to be of any value it would
require to be accompanied by series of tables quite beyond the scope of an ...
