Abstract
WE have read this little book with very great pleasure, and can strongly recommend it to the navigator as giving briefly, but pleasantly and intelligently, an account of the history of the law of storms, down to the present time, inclusive of the various theories which have been propounded. The book is also to be commended as evincing throughout a remarkable justness of criticism, of which the criticism on Prof. Blasius' recent book on storms may be cited as an illustration, and a close adherence to its text, viz., storms practically considered.
The Law of Storms Considered Practically.
