The Law of Storms / The various phenomena by which their approach can be ascertained with certainty, and practical directions to mariners for the avoidance of their fury, compiled from various sources

The text compiles observations and practical guidance about hurricanes and cyclones, explaining how Earth’s rotation alters wind patterns, defining Dove’s law of gyration, and distinguishing polar and equatorial currents and trade winds. It describes how storms rotate differently in each hemisphere, how wind shifts signal the passage or approach of a vortex, and maps wind directions to the storm’s margins. Tables and simple rules enable mariners to determine the bearing of a storm’s center and offer procedural advice for avoiding the most dangerous portions during navigation.
