A Treatise on Meteorological Instruments / Explanatory of Their Scientific Principles, Method of Construction, and Practical Utility

A systematic guide to the principles, construction, calibration, and practical use of meteorological instruments, arranged by instrument type. Detailed chapters treat barometers (cisterns, syphon, aneroids, long‑range and self‑registering barographs), thermometers (standard, maximum and minimum, radiation, deep‑sea and boiling‑point devices) and auxiliary apparatus for measuring height, pressure and atmospheric effects. The text explains necessary corrections for temperature, capillarity and altitude, methods of verification, advice for marine and field deployment, examples and tables, and descriptions of design improvements and self‑registering mechanisms to aid accurate observation and basic weather forecasting.
