Abstract
DR. W. J. HUMPHREYS is well known among meteorologists the world over as the author of a number of valuable books on meteorology. In his latest book Dr. Humphreys aims at providing “an easy stairway, or even a gentle ramp for some, in this corner of the temple of knowledge”. Here and there he discusses aspects of the weather which find little or no mention in the ordinary text-book, while the sixteen chapters of this book will give the reader a sound basis for building a fuller structure of detailed knowledge.
