Excerpt from The Law of Storms: Considered in Connection With the Ordinary Movements of the Atmosphere In this translation I have, by Professor Dove's desire, embodied in the work itself the results of observations at Dorpat (p. 125) and at Toronto (p. 129), which only appeared in the Appendix to the original work. I have also added the tables for the year 1859 at Greenwich (p. 102), for Bermuda (p. 105), and for Melbourne (p. 115), which were received from the Author in the progress of the translation. Any additions which I have made in the way of notes are signed 'Trans.' The notes signed 'F.' have been transferred, by Admiral Fitzroy's permission, from the translation of the First Edition, which is contained in the third number of ' Meteorological Papers.' The measures throughout the work have been converted to English inches, and the temperatures to their equivalents on the Fahrenheit scale. The quotations from all the works which were accessible to me in the libraries of Dublin have been taken from the originals.
