Abstract
ISOTHERMAL Charts like those published by Professor Dove in 1864 derive their chief interest from the fact that they permit a birds'-eye view of the great climatological features of the globe, but they are of comparatively little value to the meteorologist, unless accompanied by the numerical data on which they are founded. These are now supplied by the publication of the present volume, which, however, contains also a great deal of matter of interest to the intellectual community generally. The introductory remarks to the tables on the climate of Western Europe, and on non-periodical meteorological phenomena, will show that the distinguished author has just claims to be considered the greatest master of meteorological generalisations.
